Hello, folks!

PEOPLE TALKING TO PEOPLE (PTP) is a grant for The Arc of Tennessee, intended to enhance community supports by surveying consumer satisfaction with current DIDD programs and providing stakeholder feedback as Tennessee establishes quality measures in its waiver programs.

The PTP provides an opportunity for people with disabilities to interview other people with disabilities, to determine their satisfaction with services they are receiving. In addition to gathering information, the project provides new opportunities for people with disabilities to learn how to self-advocate and to advocate for others. Interview teams consist of a person with disabilities and an individual familiar with disabilities, such as a family member of a person with disabilities.

PTP is looking to hire a part-time (+-20 hours/week) interviewing partner, with home Internet access, transportation and a valid TN Driver’s License, to work with partners—based in Nashville—to conduct interviews with people receiving services from the TN Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in the areas around Davidson, Cheatham, Dickson, Montgomery and Robertson counties.

Pay starts at $8.50 an hour + $.45/mile travel reimbursement.
