We Help You Find the Support You Need

Through our accessible, interactive website, individuals and families can find respite, in-home and community support workers from a searchable database. The directory allows families and job applicants to match their interests and locations based on carefully designed criteria to ensure successful matches. The website also includes a job board, where individuals and families may post an ad detailing their specific job needs and receive email responses from interested applicants. The job board is free of charge to Rewarding Work subscribers.

RewardingWork.org is an online tool for anyone who wishes to direct their own support - and we are here to help. Click here to learn more about hiring and screening job candidates. 

How it Works

Employers subscribe as an Individual or an Agency. Visit our Subscription fees page for more information, and select the time period that works for you. (Before subscribing, please make sure we operate in your state by checking out our state partners below.)

3) Post Jobs or Search 

Once you have a subscription you can add your job posts to our Job Board.  You can also search our database for qualified caregivers in your area.

4) Interview

After you find one or more people who meet your specific needs, you can contact, interview and screen potential workers. Read our Interview Tips

5) Hire

When you find someone who meets your needs and who wants to work for you, you hire that person.
