Hiring Hampton Roads Residential Care Providers for Adults with Disabilities

Providing Person-Centered Support from Home

Is it your calling to support adults with disabilities? Do you have room in your heart and home to care for others?

Wall Residences is seeking residential care providers to offer respectful, encouraging, and supportive home environments to adults with disabilities.

Providing care in your own residential setting gives you increased stability and a consistently comfortable work environment. With no more commutes, dress codes, strict schedules, or interrupting co-workers – you can reach your full potential. You can excel at providing care to adults with disabilities all from your own home or out in your community.

As a Residential Care Provider in Virginia Beach, you would provide daily care to 1-2 adults with disabilities. You’d work with your own backup workers to create a consistent and reliable routine for the adult(s) in your care.

If you’re ready to take the next step towards a rewarding and meaningful career, contact Wall Residences to become an adult caregiver in Virginia Beach.

  • Ability to complete documentation (training is provided)
  • Ability to use a computer
  • Understanding of “person-centered” support
  • Valid driver’s license and access to a vehicle

We are especially in need of providers with these skills:

How do I apply to be a provider?

Interested job applicants can attend Provider orientation sessions which are typically held twice a month for potential new Virginia providers.

How long will the process take to become a provider?

Before you start a full-time provider job, Wall Residences offers part-time training. Many providers keep their current jobs throughout the training period.

When adults with disabilities apply for care through Wall Residences, our organization works to pair them with available residential providers who can meet their needs.

Due to the unique needs of residents and skills of providers, your match time frame can vary from other providers. Wall Residences cannot dictate how often new people request housing.

Your skills will be matched to the needs of the individual(s) placed in your home. Your wait time is dependent on the adults with disabilities in need of residential support.

Wall Residences makes intentional pairings that are intended to last for years. This is done to provide more stability for you and the adult(s) with disabilities living in your home.

Once there is an individual in need of your support, you’ll receive a notification prior to them moving in. The entire process typically takes 3-6 months.

How Can I Prepare for An Adult With Disabilities to Live in My Home?

You will be able to start your new career confidently with the skills needed to provide compassionate and person-centered care to adults with disabilities.  

Anyone without prior experience will get the chance to work as a backup worker in someone else’s home or a group home. 

Starting as a backup worker gives you time to learn more about the agency policies, procedures, and documentation requirements. The most important feature of your training will be supporting individuals for the first time. 

You can also attend a provider orientation training to learn more about what to expect as a residential caregiver for adults with disabilities. These are held twice a month. 

Can I transfer my paperwork from another agency or training center?

Yes, you can transfer required training paperwork as long as you provide the certificate from the class including the instructor’s signature, date the class was taken, and date when the training expires.

If documents showing previous TB screenings are provided and there has been no disruption in care then this is also transferable.
