Life Skills Coaches that are community-based assist individuals with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities in accessing the community. The day is spent supporting an individual in all the areas of daily living as needed or directed by their plans. You have the opportunity to enrich and support another individual's life simply by being available and supportive. You will use your own vehicle to take individuals to a variety of activities throughout the week and work alongside them, teaching important life skills.
We have the opportunity for an early riser who would like to start their day by 7:00 am. This individual needs support from 7 am to 9 am. At that hour, they enjoy going to breakfast, wandering the aisles at Lowe's. They enjoy the song "Single Ladies", music, coloring, dancing, playing Uno, bowling, the bio park, and McDonald's. They use an iPad to help them communicate. Super friendly, caring, and a lot of fun.
We have different opportunities available for our Life Skills Coaches that are community based. A typical day starts at 9am and ends at 3pm and runs Monday-Friday.
