Help individuals develop workplace skills such as: Attendance and punctuality Communication and professionalism Time management Following directions Problem-solving Workplace relationships and appropriate behavior Safety and self-advocacy Provide encouragement, positive reinforcement, and constructive feedback. Observe progress, identify areas for additional support, and gradually fade assistance as independence develops. Support individuals in maintaining employment and navigating workplace challenges. Build positive, professional relationships with employers, supervisors, coworkers, and community businesses. Advocate for inclusion, reasonable accommodations, self-determination, dignity, and meaningful participation in the workplace. Maintain accurate and timely documentation, progress notes, and service records. Communicate important concerns, progress, safety issues, and employment-related updates with supervisors and support teams. Participate in team meetings, supervision, training, and ongoing professional development. Maintain confidentiality, professional boundaries, and a safe, respectful, inclusive environment.

What We're Looking For Minimum Qualifications:

High school diploma or equivalent. Genuine interest in helping people with disabilities achieve meaningful employment and greater independence. Patient, dependable, adaptable, and professional approach. Strong communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to work with individuals who have different communication styles, learning needs, and support needs. Ability to adapt coaching and teaching strategies to individual needs. Ability to work independently and as part of a team. Good judgment in community-based settings. Ability to maintain confidentiality and professional boundaries. Basic computer skills and ability to learn electronic documentation systems. Reliable transportation and ability to travel between employment sites as needed. Ability to meet applicable background-check and provider requirements.

Preferred Experience:

Experience in supported employment, job coaching, intellectual and developmental disability services, vocational rehabilitation, direct support, human services, education, retail/customer service, or other related fields is helpful—but not required .
