Our Hiring Process

LIFE Inc. is an equal employment opportunity employer who recruits, hires, and promotes qualified employees without regard to age, color, creed, gender identity, handicap, national origin, sexual orientation, race, or religious affiliation. Preferred basic pre-employment qualifications for our entry-level positions includes the attainment of a high school diploma or equivalent and the capacity to perform essential job functions. However, overall life experience will be taken into account when assessing a candidate’s application for employment. Pre-employment qualifications for administrative or specialty positions may require advanced degrees or certifications.

We are a private, non-profit agency that operates group homes under contract with the state and federal government for individuals with developmental disabilities. Very generally stated, the purpose of our programs is to provide safe, secure, supportive services, while assisting individuals with disabilities to become as capable as they can, to do as many things for themselves as possible, and to assist them with becoming integrated into the community at large.

Although each of our programs and consumers are uniquely different in many ways, there exists commonality in regard to the supportive work involved. Included in this is the fact that most supportive service positions would have a person work afternoon (Second Shift) or overnight (Third Shift), and in day program positions, daytime (First Shift) hours.

We run ads periodically to maintain an active pool of eligible applicants. After an applicant indicates their availability, shift preference, area preference, etc., their application is fully processed. Our Human Resources Department will review all applications and set up initial interviews according to agency openings, applicant availability, shift preference, and desire for full or part-time. Upon completion of the initial interview, applications will be forwarded to the Program Managers best suited for the employees availability. The Program Manager will contact those applicants who appear best suited for the position(s) available, and a follow-up interview will be arranged at the program level to assess cohesion in the household they would be working in. The interview will be conducted, outlining specific schedule and providing applicants with more information regarding residents and job responsibilities for that program.

Applicants who are not chosen for a specific position will be notified by mail. All applications are kept on file for future open positions. In busier programs, applicants may not receive a call for an extended period of time to set up a second interview, this does not necessarily mean you have not been chosen for a position. It is not necessary, at any time, to call us, as we will retain all applications on an active file status.

Upon receiving an offer of employment, you will be asked to complete some vital assignments during the initial six (6) month evaluation period. Upon completion of the evaluation phase of employment, those employees who are scheduled at least a thirty (30) hour per week (or more) will be eligible to receive benefits. This includes, but is not limited to dental, medical, and vision insurance, sick/medical leave and annual leave benefits. Benefit package also includes a pension plan, 401K, and FSA, available upon completion of eligibility requirements.
