Make Work Meaningful—For You and Someone Else

Looking for a job where what you do actually matters?

At Access Community Care (ACC), we're hiring compassionate, motivated individuals to join our Employment Services team as Job Coaches. In this role, you'll support adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) in real workplaces throughout the Portland metro area—helping them learn skills, build confidence, and succeed on the job.

No experience? No problem. If you're reliable, patient, and enjoy helping others grow, we'll provide all the training you need to succeed.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't a typical job—you'll:

• Work one-on-one with individuals in real community job settings
• Get out from behind a desk and stay active throughout your day
• See the direct impact of your work in real time
• Help people gain independence and confidence
• Build meaningful, lasting connections

Why Join Access Community Care?

We believe great care starts with supported employees. At ACC, you'll be part of a collaborative, mission-driven team that values inclusion, growth, and community impact—values that matter here in the Portland area.

We offer:

• $20.50–$23.00/hour (depending on experience)
• Mileage reimbursement for travel between job sites
• Paid training (no prior experience required!)
• Paid time off + paid holidays
• Health benefits + retirement options
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Bonus opportunities
• Ongoing training & career advancement

What You'll Do

As a Job Coach, you will:

• Provide one-on-one support to individuals at their workplace
• Teach and reinforce job skills and workplace expectations
• Support communication between the individual and their employer
• Encourage independence, confidence, and self-advocacy
• Help individuals build positive relationships with coworkers
• Track and document progress
• Collaborate with a supportive team to ensure long-term success

Area Relief Job Coach (Flexible Role)

We're also hiring for an Area Relief Job Coach—ideal if you enjoy variety and flexibility. In this role, you'll:

• Provide coverage at different job sites across the Portland area
• Work with a variety of individuals and employers
• Adapt quickly to new environments

Perfect for someone who likes a dynamic, on-the-go workday.

What We're Looking For

You might be a great fit if you:

• Are dependable, patient, and positive
• Enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds
• Communicate clearly and professionally
• Are comfortable working independently in community settings
• Are open to learning and applying new skills

Basic Requirements

• 18+ years old
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Willingness to travel locally between job sites
• Ability to pass required background checks
• Comfortable with light physical activity (walking, standing, etc.)

Experience in I/DD, human services, or education is a plus—but not required.
