Eden Autism is looking for energetic and compassionate people to provide support to adults in our group homes and out in the community. This is an excellent opportunity if you enjoy teaching and coaching others, and would like to work for an organization where your passion could be turned into a rewarding job.

We have part-time and full-time positions available, and can offer a variety of schedules including week day, weekend, and awake overnight shifts, with three-day on/three-day off rotations—our employees find this flexibility perfect for their busy lives!

In Robbinsville, we have Weekend Day schedules Saturday and Sunday 8:30 am - 8:30 pm, Friday/Saturday/Sunday Awake Overnight schedules Friday 11:00 pm - 8:30 am and Saturday/Sunday 8:30 pm - 8:30 am, and Wednesday-Saturday schedule with Wednesday/Thursday 3:30 pm - 11:00 pm, Friday 3:00 pm - 11:00 pm, and Saturday 8:30 am - 8:30 pm.
