Become a Champion of Potential: Job Trainer at GAAMHA

Do you have the patience of a saint, the heart of an advocate, and a sense of humor to match? If so, GAAMHA has a meaningful opportunity just for you.

We’re not just hiring — we’re on the lookout for someone extraordinary. As a Job Trainer, you won’t just teach tasks. You’ll ignite confidence, foster independence, and celebrate success in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). You’ll be a champion of potential — and that’s a powerful role to play.

What You’ll Do (and Why It Matters)

· Be a Guiding Light: Offer personalized, one-on-one training and support. Demonstrate tasks clearly, patiently answer questions, and provide encouraging, constructive feedback.

· Unleash Potential: Break down complex tasks into manageable steps tailored to each person’s learning style and pace. Your goal? Make learning empowering and accessible.

· Inspire Progress: Create a fun, motivating environment where every win is celebrated — no matter how big or small. Encourage perseverance through challenges.

· Track the Journey: Monitor individual progress, identify areas of growth, and adjust training methods as needed. Communicate updates with your supervisor regularly to ensure everyone is on the same page.

· Work as a Team: Collaborate with Case Managers, Employment Specialists, and other departments to provide holistic, consistent support. Maintain clear and accurate documentation using our electronic records system.

· Be an Empowerment Advocate: Support individuals in daily activities including vocational tasks, personal living skills, community outings, and recreational programs. Help them build confidence, develop new interests, and integrate into the community.

What You’ll Need

· A high school diploma or GED

· A valid driver’s license

· Ability to lift and/or move up to 50 lbs

· Experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities is a plus — but your compassion, patience, and dedication matter most

· Strong communication skills with a positive, empathetic approach (a sense of humor is a huge plus!)

What We Offer

· A chance to make a real difference in people’s lives

· Full training on our processes and tools

· A collaborative, supportive, and friendly team environment

· Opportunities to grow professionally while helping others grow personally

If you’re ready to be more than just a trainer — if you want to be a spark of change, a source of support, and a true champion — we invite you to apply.

Let’s work together to build a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
