LIFE @ Avant Mentor (Direct Support Professional)

Job Description

Job Description

If you’re looking for a "stable day program" job, keep scrolling.

Most "day programs" are built on passive energy—people sitting in rooms, killing time, and waiting for the shift to end. That’s not what we do here.

At  Avant , we are a disruption to the status quo.  LIFE @ Avant is about social impact, networking, and building the confidence people need to run their own lives. We are looking for Mentors who act more like agents or business coaches than "staff."

The Reality Check

We are obsessive about our culture. We don’t hire "warm bodies." We hire  winners who have a deep, bone-deep conviction that everyone—regardless of their support needs—deserves to chase their version of the American Dream.

This role is for you if:

• You find "business as usual" boring and systemic barriers offensive.
• You’re the person who speaks up when something isn’t right.
• You see technology as a way to give people their privacy back, not just a cool gadget.
• You’re an entrepreneur at heart. We want people who can help others launch micro-businesses and build actual careers.
• You’re a high-performer who wants to be surrounded by other high-performers.

This is NOT for you if:

• You have "passive energy." If you wait for a manager to tell you exactly what to do every hour, you will fail here.
• You think "good enough" is an acceptable standard for the people we support.
• You struggle with technology or change. We move fast and use tools to stay ahead.

The Work

You won't be sitting in a facility. You’ll be out in the community, networking, and helping people develop skills that actually matter. You’ll work closely with Work With Purpose to bridge the gap between "pre-vocational training" and actual self-sufficiency.

Administrative Note

• Scope of Work: Perform other duties as assigned by Managers or Directors to support the evolving needs of the individuals and the agency.
• Operational Flexibility : The expectation to work additional hours beyond your primary schedule, availability between 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, to meet the needs of our clients, address emergencies, or ensure operational excellence.
  

The Gauntlet

We don’t just check your references; we test your heart.

1. Round 1 - Vibe Check: You’ll do a video assessment via Willo so we can see your energy before we meet.
2. Round 2 - The Profile: We use CliftonStrengths to see how you’re wired. We only put people in positions where they can win. You will do a live interview with our hiring team to review the results. 
3. Round 3 - The Shadow: You’ll join us for a job shadow. You’ll see the high bar we set, and we’ll see if you can clear it.
4. The Launch: Our 1-60 day training is aggressive. It’s designed to weave you into our culture so that by day 61, you live and breathe Avant values.

The Bottom Line

The pay is competitive, the team is elite, and the mission is real. If you’re tired of being the only one in your department who cares, come join a company where everyone does.

The Tech-Forward Edge

We don’t just use technology; it is the backbone of how we create, collaborate, and communicate. As a highly technical organization , we operate at a fast pace where digital fluency isn't just a plus—it’s a prerequisite. We expect every member of our team to be more than just "comfortable" with a computer; you should be a power user who thrives in a cloud-first environment.

What We’re Looking For:

• High Technical Aptitude: You possess a natural curiosity for software and a "figure-it-out" mentality when navigating new platforms.
• Google Workspace Mastery: Preference is given to candidates who are experts in the Google Workspace ecosystem (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Admin). You should understand how to leverage these tools for maximum efficiency and real-time collaboration.
• Digital Agility: Whether it’s automating a workflow, managing complex file architectures, or troubleshooting your own stack, you stay ahead of the curve.

Why Join the Avant Team?

You won't just be "checking boxes." You will be the visionary who ensures our medical systems are as resilient as the people we support. You’ll have the autonomy to build better protocols and the clinical heart to care for those who need it most.
