DAY PROGRAM STAFF

Day program activity assistants work with individuals, their families, and other members of their support system to set measurable goals and objectives through an Individual Service Plan (ISP). Your support and instruction will help individuals achieve goals, overcome barriers, and become more independent. In your role you will work together with the people we serve, their families, friends, employers, and other support staff to transform their lives.

On a typical day, you may assist a small group of individuals at a time with varying levels of need. Your work may focus on developmental skill training in self care, self preservation, self-direction, independent living skills, hygiene, and first aid. You may also work with individuals on improving communication, socialization, and fine-and-gross motor skills, and providing enrichment through art, music, and horticulture.

As a job coach at Vinfen, you may work with people who have mental health conditions, intellectual and developmental disabilities, brain injuries, or behavioral health challenges to support their career goals.

Job coaches’ coach people individually or in group settings and monitor individuals work progress and the effectiveness of various employment and vocational programs. The work of the job coach may involve traveling to various work sites in the community to provide hands-on support to both employers and people we serve at their jobs and act as a role model who demonstrates appropriate social interactions with employers and the public.
