Job description

Employment Advisor - Looking for a self-motivated, difference maker to be the trusted guide helping adults with disabilities experience the power of employment.

The Employment Advisor we need is a patient, detail-oriented problem-solver who enjoys the challenge of supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to find the right job, and the challenge of coaching employers to discover the right employee. You will have the freedom to design your weekly work schedule to ensure you are able to work towards client success. You will be responsible for uncovering and overcoming obstacles that our clients face that stop them from successfully integrating into the workforce and improving their lives.

Our environment is periodically challenging, but you are the right person if you can rise to the occasional difficult situation. Once you learn our processes and systems, you will have the freedom to implement your own work plan. Each month, you will see the results of your hard work through your solid record keeping and our reporting.

Skils'kin was founded in 1970 by a group of concerned parents and for over 50 years, we have believed in the power of employment for adults with disabilities, not only in their own lives but in the community as well.

Our mission is: Empower people. Enhance opportunities. Enrich communities.
Our values are accountability, diversity, relationships, innovation, and integrity. They are more than just words on a wall, but how we make decisions.

You know Skils'kin will be the right place for you if you excel at working independently and are looking to help people with disabilities become more independent. You don't have to have experience! We can train you on the How, we just need your Why.
