Job Coach, Employment Specialist


Job Description:

Project Genesis seeks several dedicated and reliable Job Coaches / Employment Specialists to develop and teach workplace skills to individuals with disabilities. Job Coaches help clients learn and keep a job, which in turn increases their confidence and helps them to achieve long-term success.

As a Per Diem Job Coach, you will earn between $19-$22 per hour depending on your prior work experience and level of education completed.

To qualify as a Job Coach, you must have a High School Diploma or equivalent (GED) and at least one (1) year of Human Services, Job Coaching, or Educating / Mentoring experience OR a Bachelor’s degree and be willing to take a training program. We also require you to be at least 18 years old; have a vehicle to transport clients, a valid driver's license, and proof of auto insurance.

Job Coaches / Employment Specialists assess job roles and functions against each client’s needs and capable skill sets to ensure successful placement. You’ll do this by observing and evaluating each client’s job skills, social interactions, and workplace behaviors.

You will also be expected to:

  • Identify workplace challenges and develop easy, replicable solutions or skill sets that can be easily taught.
  • Recommend adaptive tools or work environment adjustments, when needed.
  • Provide hands-on vocational support by modeling and teaching job tasks.
  • Develop and implement individualized training programs with learning materials, including those that are multi-sensory where appropriate.
