Job Description**: We are seeking a compassionate, patient, and organized individual to provide personalized support to a charismatic and kind 28-year-old man with autism.
After living most of his life with direct family support, the adult and his family are working together to take the next steps to move him into his own apartment. The person who fills the role of Support Coach will help the adult build upon his existing independent living skills, and identify gaps where he needs additional support. Eventually, when all parties determine the individual is ready, the support coach will work with the team to move the adult into his own residence and set up the apartment with the support of a full team.
In addition to the above, the role involves assisting the adult with daily living activities, fostering social skills, and facilitating community engagement. The ideal candidate is a dedicated and motivated individual who has a background in supporting neurodiverse adults and is looking for a meaningful, long-term position.
