Supported employment refers to service provisions wherein people with disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, mental health and traumatic brain injury, among others, are assisted with obtaining and maintaining employment. As a Job Coach, you will provide mentoring and support to our Supported Employment Consumers/Clients. This means that in addition to helping employees learn a new job, a job coach can provide one-on-one monitoring and support until the employee has mastered job duties or overcome other work-related issues. You will be assigned a Consumer/Client by the Employment Manager who will work with you to understand the job the Consumer has been hired for and their unique needs in training for the new job.
