Employment Opportunities: Positions

Dear Jobseeker:

We are thrilled that you have visited our Web site to review career opportunities with Mission Road Ministries. On behalf of Mission Road, I would like to provide you with some insight into who we are and what we do.

Mission Road was founded in 1947 by Mr. and Mrs. Clifford C. Bledsoe as a place to provide care for their son with disabilities and others like him. From that humble beginning, it has grown and progressed with the evolving needs of children and adults with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. As one of the largest and oldest non-profit organizations in San Antonio, Mission Road is honored and proud to be supported by the United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County.

Today, Mission Road Ministries is the umbrella organization for five separate entities that daily provide a variety of residential and non-residential services to more than 700 children and adults with mental retardation. We have a 20-acre campus on the south side of San Antonio where dedicated staff provide residential care to children and adults, in addition to a day services program for adults. Throughout the San Antonio community, we have ten group homes for adults, three apartment complexes providing semi-independent apartment living for adults and The Unicorn Centers, Inc. which provides a variety of vocational programs for adults.

Our team of more than 330 employees concentrates on our guiding principle of “changing lives by focusing on potential rather than limitations” and daily pursues our mission of “helping children and adults with developmental disabilities achieve their individual potential for Independence, Productivity, Self-Reliance, and Full Participation in the community at large”.

We know that we can only achieve our mission through the efforts of committed caregivers, and I encourage you to further investigate becoming a member of our team. Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information about becoming a member of the Mission Road Ministries team.

Thank you for including Mission Road Ministries in your job search!

Yours very truly,

Toby Summers
