Careers at Adelante

A majority of our employees work directly with people with disabilities and seniors. As a relatively large organization, there are lots of other jobs such as HR, marketing, fundraising, IT, business operations, management and more.

Basic Requirements
Because we work closely with people who are vulnerable and their care is our primary concern, all of our positions require a background check and drug test. Though experience is appreciated, it is not always required. Adelante provides all of the state-required trainings to our incoming staff members so they can work safely and effectively. Many positions require employees to drive for the agency, and for those positions a good driving record is required. More specifics are listed on the individual job openings. To apply, click on the “apply” button at the bottom of each job listing.
