We encourage curiosity, welcome new perspectives, and embrace innovation when it helps us better meet the evolving needs of those we serve.
Most importantly, we recognize that our employees are people first. We celebrate successes, support one another through challenges, and strive to create a workplace where individuals can grow professionally while making a meaningful difference every day.

Quotes from Current Staff:
“I work here because we save lives. From loneliness prevention to food delivery, people all over Maine rely on us to show up and perform our job well. In the Adult Day Program, we’ve seen amazing things from older folks who are able to overcome their circumstances by socializing properly and exercising every day. I wouldn’t want to do anything else!” – Anna Eaves
“I am so incredibly grateful to be part of the SMAA team. I am very proud to do what I do alongside such a great group of people.” – Jacqui Baker
Thinking About Applying?
If you’re reading this and wondering whether you’re qualified enough to apply, we hope you’ll throw your hat in the ring.
Research shows that many people only apply for jobs when they meet every single qualification listed in a post. We know great candidates don’t always check every box. Skills can be learned, experience comes in many forms, and sometimes the best team members bring strengths that aren’t captured on a resume.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and believe people should be evaluated as individuals. SMAA evaluates candidates fairly and individually rather than automatically disqualifying people based on background checks.
Whether you’re early in your career, making a change, or bringing years of experience, we’d love to hear from you.
