Job Description

Project Genesis, a Connecticut Non-profit, seeks several Independent Living Skills Trainers (ILST) with at least one (1) year of brain injury experience to teach living skills to individuals in our Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) program.

As an Independent Living Skills Trainer / Life Skills Coach with Project Genesis, you will earn $18 per hour. Plus, if you work full-time with our organization, then you’ll enjoy the following benefits:

  • Medical and dental insurance
  • A 401K program with profit sharing

  • Paid time off and holidays
  • An employee assistance program

To qualify, you must have a high school diploma or equivalent AND 2 years of verifiable experience working with clients with brain injuries OR a bachelor’s degree and 1 year of verifiable brain injury related experience.

A flexible schedule is necessary as is an Acquired Brain Injury and Person-Centered Certifications.

Our Independent Living Skills Trainers / ILST Instructors are essential in empowering individuals to live more independently and improve their quality of life. You’ll be responsible for identifying areas where clients need support, such as self-care, communication, financial management, or social skills. You will then be expected to:

  • Teach your clients essential life skills like cooking, budgeting, job readiness, and transportation navigation.
  • Help your clients develop problem-solving strategies, emotional regulation abilities, and good decision-making skills.
  • Track improvements, adjust interventions as needed, and ensure each client’s compliance with medical and safety guidelines.
  • Connect clients with community resources that advocate for their independence.

Please apply today to start making a difference in people’s lives by teaching them skills for an independent, brighter future.
