❤️ About Us

At Cypress Independent Living Services, Inc. (Cypress ILS), we believe that every Intellectually Disabled Adult deserves the chance to live with dignity, independence, and joy. We are one of the Bay Area’s leading providers of services for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and we’ve built our reputation on compassion, professionalism, and heart.

When you join our team, you’re not just taking a job—you’re joining a purpose-driven community where every day is an opportunity to make someone’s life brighter.

What You’ll Do

As a Life Skills Coach (LSC), you’ll spend your time out in the community—not stuck behind a desk. You’ll walk alongside clients where they live, work, and socialize, helping them build confidence and independence in their daily lives.

Work Independently out in the Community with Your Clients

Use your personal vehicle to travel to Your Clients home and around the community to help them achieve their goals (we pay you for mileage!)

Use your personal life's experience to coach and guide your client's to meet their life's challenges

Be supported 100% with your job and clients via highly trained Cypress ILS Team

You’ll serve as:

A Partner – helping individuals lead independent, self-directed lives.

A Teacher – using creativity to teach skills like cooking, budgeting, and communication.

An Ambassador – fostering inclusion by connecting clients to their communities.

An Advocate – supporting individuals in making choices and standing up for their rights

A Supporter – encouraging personal goals and celebrating every milestone.

You don’t make decisions for our clients—you empower them to make their own, with support from families and professionals.
