NACOLG’s Senior Aides Program

Does your business need part-time help but your budget won’t allow it?  The Northwest Alabama Council of Local Governments has a program that can help.  NACOLG’s Department of Senior Services is currently seeking host agencies for the Senior Aides Program.  The Senior Aides Program assists persons aged 55 and older in securing part-time jobs in governmental or non-profit agencies.  Senior Aides can be hired in your agency for receptionist work and clerical work such as filing and data entry. 

Host agencies should be governmental in nature or maintain an IRS 501C3 non-profit status and provide supervised training for the worker.   Overall, the Senior Aides Program promotes hiring elderly persons while providing additional help to a host agency at a very minimal cost.   For a donation of $750 per year per Aide, your agency contracts for a part-time employee for a year.  The Senior Aide can work up to 19.75 hours per week and his salary will be provided by NACOLG.  There is a two-year durational limit for any placement but many Senior Aides are hired to continue their employment following this period.

For more information, please call NACOLG’s Senior Aides Program Coordinator at (256) 389-0537.
