An assistant at L’Arche Heartland is a person without an intellectual/developmental disability who uses his/her gifts to support the core members (adults in community with an intellectual/developmental disability).  There are three different types of assistants at L’Arche Heartland: Live-in Assistants, Live-out Assistants, and Day Service Assistants.  All three types of assistants are employees of the community and must pass state mandated background checks, have a high school diploma, be 21 years of age with a clean driving record, and have an open heart desiring to engage in community life.  Hours and compensation for the different types of assistant vary, but all full time assistants (30 hours or more per week) include Medical / Dental / Vision insurance paid 100% by the community, and two weeks paid vacation in the first year. 

The role of an assistant is both rewarding and challenging.  Coming from various walks of life, all assistants are expected to be reflective of their experience in community and be committed to personal growth.
