Job Description

Empowering Independence. Upholding Dignity.

At DABS, Inc., we provide comprehensive skills training and supported living services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Since 2005, we've been empowering individuals to lead more independent lives-through advocacy, innovation, and unwavering commitment. We believe in showing up-especially when things get hard. Dignity is our guiding principle, and as demand for our services grows, so does our resolve to ensure every person we serve is respected, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Join Us as a Skills Instructor

What You'll Do

  • Provide person-centered instruction through planned community activities.
  • Support individuals in accessing community resources, planning engaging activities, and strengthening their skill sets.
  • Take individuals on community outings-whether for appointments, errands, or just to enjoy the day.
  • Track and document progress, capturing accurate and concise case notes.
  • Redirect inappropriate behaviors and facilitate positive resolutions to challenges.
  • Work collaboratively with a team of professionals to ensure comprehensive support.
What You Bring
  • A caring heart and a commitment to helping others live with dignity and independence.
  • Reliable transportation to and from work.
  • A valid driver's license, personal vehicle, and insurance.
  • Willingness to undergo a state and federal fingerprint background check.
  • CPR Certification and a recent TB test (we can help you obtain both if needed).
  • Experience with individuals with developmental disabilities is a plus-but if you bring passion and dedication, we'll provide the training.
What We Offer
  • Starting rate of $18-$25 per hour, paid weekly
  • Full and part-time positions available - let us know what works best for you
  • Paid sick leave
  • Mileage reimbursement
  • Opportunities for growth and training
