COVID-19 Safety at CAU
CAU is following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and regularly communicates with experts and officials to follow best practices for the health and safety of our members and staff. All staff complete a coronavirus screening questionnaire and temperature checks at the start of every shift to ensure they are symptom-free before entering a program. CAU is well-stocked with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and safeguarding equipment. All employees must wear face coverings at our programs, and we have a distribution system to ensure all programs have what they need for personal protection and cleaning. We maintain communications with staff about what to do if you are sick, where to get tested for the virus, and what habits to practice to help keep everyone safe.
Our staff are essential workers who work hard to provide vital services as the COVID-19 situation continues in our area. Follow CAU on Facebook to see what we are up to and how we are showing appreciation for our awesome staff!
Whether you are new to the field of social services or a seasoned professional, Community Access Unlimited has a wide range of job opportunities for you.
Due to our continuing expansion, there are a number of full time and part time openings for those interested in guiding people with disabilities and aging out youth who are on the road to independence. Most of our positions in residential services, including supported and independent living, are direct care in nature. Your interests and ability to work with at-risk youth referred by the Division of Child Protection & Permanency (DCP&P) or youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities will determine which population you may work with.
Many positions, including higher level direct care, require a high school diploma or equivalent and experience in the field. If you are looking for a flexible work schedule, CAU definitely has that to offer!
Many positions offer afternoon and evening hours as well as weekends. We even offer overnight hours. Valid driver’s license and access to a car while working is required for most positions. We have positions available in the following areas of Union County:
Cranford, Scotch Plains, Fanwood, Plainfield, Elizabeth, Roselle, Summit, Linden and New Providence. We also have positions available statewide for Support Coordination and for our Community Support Program.
