Let’s be real—this isn’t your average 9–5.

If you’re the type of person who actually cares , who shows up, who wants to make a real difference in someone’s life every single day… keep reading.

At Progressive Directions, Inc. , we don’t just provide services—we help people live meaningful, independent lives. And as a Personal Assistant (PA) , you’ll be right there, one-on-one, making that happen.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

This role is hands-on, heart-first, and purpose-driven. You will

• Support one individual in their daily life; this is personalized care, not a group setting
• Help build independence, confidence, and life skills
• Assist with personal care, daily routines, and mobility when needed
• Support medication routines (per policy)
• Get out into the community, like shopping, events, activities, real-life stuff
• Help plan a meaningful day based on what THEY want, not a cookie-cutter schedule
• Keep documentation accurate (notes, logs, etc.)
• Be their advocate, their support system, and honestly… part of their circle

Bottom line: You’re helping someone live life on their terms, not just “getting through the day".

What Makes This Job Different

• You’re not just clocking in—you’re showing up for someone
• You build real relationships (this isn’t transactional work)
• Every day looks different
• You leave knowing you actually mattered

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or GED (preferred, not required)
• Valid driver’s license (TN, KY, or AL) + clean driving record
• Ability to pass a background check
• TB test within the last 12 months (we’ll send you for one if needed)
• Strong communication + ability to follow directions
• Willingness to complete required training

Physical Requirements

• Active role: standing, walking, assisting with mobility
• Occasional lifting (up to 50 lbs)
• This is not a desk job—you’ll be moving and engaging all day

Why PDI?

• Nearly 50 years of serving our community
• Mission-driven work: Pride. Dignity. Independence.
• Supportive team that actually has your back
• You’re not a number here—you’re part of something bigger

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here
