Job description
Job Coach / Employment Specialist – Part-Time
RISE Services is hiring a compassionate, dependable, and resourceful Job Coach / Employment Specialist to help individuals with disabilities prepare for, obtain, and maintain meaningful employment.
In this community-based role, you will meet participants at employer worksites and other locations throughout Georgetown and surrounding Sussex County communities. You will help participants explore career interests, search and apply for jobs, prepare for interviews, learn workplace responsibilities, communicate with employers, and develop the skills needed for long-term employment success.
A bachelor's degree is not required. We welcome applicants with relevant experience in disability services, human services, education, behavioral health, workforce development, direct support, career coaching, case management, retail supervision, hospitality, customer service, or other positions involving teaching, mentoring, or helping others succeed.
Training is provided.
This position offers up to 29 hours per week. Most services in the Georgetown area are provided during daytime hours, Monday through Friday.
Weekend work is occasionally needed to provide coverage when another employee is unavailable, but this is not a regularly scheduled weekend position.
Weekly schedules may include:
On-site job coaching
Job searching and completing applications
Resume and interview preparation
Employer outreach
Employment-readiness activities
Community-based participant meetings
Progress notes and required documentation
When a participant is not working their full number of authorized service hours, the Job Coach may provide other approved employment services, including job searching, completing applications, developing resumes, preparing for interviews, contacting employers, and teaching workplace-readiness skills.
Employees who want additional hours may have the opportunity to transition to full-time as caseloads and service needs grow. Full-time hours are not guaranteed and depend on participant referrals, scheduling needs, employee availability, and satisfactory job performance.
This is a community-based position, not a remote or traditional office-based role. Services are provided at employer worksites and other community locations throughout Georgetown and surrounding Sussex County communities.
Applicants must have reliable transportation and be comfortable driving between community locations. Transporting participants may be required as part of the position.
RISE Services is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to creating an inclusive workplace. We recruit, hire, train, compensate, and promote employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
If you enjoy teaching, encouraging others, solving problems, and helping people accomplish meaningful goals, apply for the Part-Time Job Coach / Employment Specialist position with RISE Services.
A bachelor's degree and previous job-coaching experience are not required. Relevant experience, dependability, professionalism, sound judgment, and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed are strongly valued.
