Personal Mentors for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

Personal Mentor

Positions available in Claremont, Newport, and Lebanon, NH, and surrounding areas. PathWays has been providing services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in Sullivan and lower Grafton County in NH for over 50 years. Personal Mentors are a part of our mission by working one-on-one with an individual to integrate into their community and meet personal goals. Mentors work very closely with the individual's family, and the family oversees the daily activities and schedule.

Being a Mentor can make a difference in an individual's life. Here are some areas that families need/want: library time, volunteering, personal care, daily living skills, horseback riding, arts, grocery shopping, medication administration, fitness, employment support, social events, and behavioral support. What you do varies by individual and family. Most of our Mentor positions are part-time with varying schedules as determined by the family.

We are looking for people with positive attitudes, friendly demeanors, resourcefulness, and patience, who enjoy being part of the community. Some individuals require assistance with personal hygienic care; some require medicine administration experience, which is helpful though you will be trained as well. We also serve individuals who require behavioral support and/or are on the Autism Spectrum. Opportunities are available throughout Sullivan and lower Grafton counties.
