SMVI requires the very best qualities in staff. We do not believe in simply putting a warm body in a vacant slot. In addition to the training that Residential, Supported Employment, Individual Support Services, Community Supported Living Arrangements, and Respite staff receive after they are on board, in order to be hired SMVI, a person must pass an initial drug screening, as well as random drug tests through out their period of employment, a criminal records check, a driving records check, and they must provide three work refer­ences which are also scrupulously checked. If a person fails to meet any of these requirements, he/she will not be hired by SMVI.
