Careers at L’Arche offer unique opportunities for personal and professional growth. We are most often looking for dedicated Residential Assistants to work in our homes. Whether you choose a live-in or live-out role, you will join a community that celebrates your unique gifts as you share life alongside adults with I/DD. At L’Arche Atlanta, we prioritize mutual relationships, lasting friendships, and discovering the true depth of the human spirit. If you are ready to grow within a community built on belonging, please share your resume below.

We are also looking for individuals to serve as Assistants through our Side by Side Program. Side by Side, also known as our Community Access Individual (CAI) program, provides one-on-one support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Assistants will help people with I/DD explore and enjoy activities in their local community.

The Role of an Assistant

At L’Arche Atlanta, all employees work together to build a community rooted in dignity and respect. Assistants play a vital role by providing direct, daily support to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (core members). In this caregiving role, you will guide core members toward their personal life goals while assisting with daily living, financial management, medical care, and transportation. Beyond daily care, Assistants maintain our L’Arche homes and joyfully participate in the rhythms of shared life—including cooking, celebrating milestones, engaging in physical activity, and spending time in prayer.
