Frequently asked questions
In Louisiana, certifications like QIDP (Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional) credentialing and specialized training in developmental disabilities are highly valued. These validate your expertise in supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and can significantly enhance job prospects with providers like ResCare Community Living.
Daily tasks often include coordinating personalized service plans, supervising care delivery, managing incident reports, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Interaction with clients, families, and care teams to support individuals with intellectual disabilities is central, alongside administrative duties to track progress and budget.
Opportunities abound to advance into supervisory roles, program management, or specialized positions in behavioral support or community living coordination. Building experience in case management and obtaining additional certifications can unlock leadership and higher-responsibility roles in disability support services.
ResCare emphasizes personalized futures planning and community integration, backed by five decades of expertise. Their holistic approach integrates behavioral health, supported employment, and telecare, offering QIDPs a diverse and innovative environment to foster growth and meaningful client impact.
ResCare equips QIDPs with ongoing training and resources to navigate state and federal regulations, assists with plan-of-correction implementation, and fosters proactive communication with regulatory bodies. This support ensures services meet legal standards while prioritizing client dignity and safety.
Harvey, LA has a steady demand for QIDPs due to a significant population requiring developmental disability services. Employers like ResCare frequently seek qualified candidates, although competition exists, making relevant experience and regional certifications valuable assets for job seekers.
At $20.00 per hour, the wage aligns reasonably with Louisiana's market rates for QIDPs. While competitive locally, candidates should consider additional benefits and growth opportunities when evaluating compensation, as living costs in Harvey tend to be lower than national averages.
Harvey's urban layout and proximity to New Orleans offer manageable commutes for most QIDPs. However, traffic during peak hours can impact travel times. ResCare's multiple service sites may require flexibility, so candidates often consider transit options and schedule coordination before accepting roles.
Demonstrated leadership in person-centered planning, adeptness at incident management, and familiarity with federal/state regulations elevate a candidate's profile. Additionally, empathy, strong communication, and proactive problem-solving are critical for thriving in this specialized care environment.
QIDPs at ResCare are vital connectors linking clients to tailored community living supports and behavioral health services. Their oversight ensures cohesive program delivery, aligning individual futures plans with organizational goals to enrich client independence and quality of life.
