Shared Living Contractor

Shared Living Contractor 

Overview: Our Shared Living program in Kansas offers a nationally recognized model of habilitation and residential services for program participants with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (ID/D). In our program, one to two participants share a home with a family or an individual adult's family, referred to as the contractor. The Contractor lives with the participant, providing personalized support following the participant’s person-centered support plan.

Compensation & Benefits: 

$16,000 to $60,000 per year based on the level of care.

This is an Independent Contractor opportunity. The Internal Revenue Service defines an independent Contractor as:

The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the person for whom the services are performed has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done. If you are an independent contractor, then you are self-employed. The earnings of a person who is working as an independent contractor are subject to self-employment tax. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/smallbusinesses-self-employed/independent-contractor-defined
