Job Description:
Brevard Public Schools is seeking two compassionate individuals
as a Job Coach for Young Adults with Disabilities in Titusville and
Central Brevard. A job coach works with young adults 18-21 with
disabilities in the community setting in our BLAST Program. The
BLAST (Brevard's Learners Achieving Successful Transition) Program
was designed to meet the needs of Exceptional Education Students
(ESE) who are 18-22 years old. The BLAST program focuses directly
on transition opportunities and post-secondary goals of students
who have deferred their diploma.
A Job Coach will work with young adults 18-21 with disabilities in
the community setting. The job coach will meet interns at the job
site and supervise from 9:30 - 1:30, with a 30 minute lunch break
with interns. An additional 2 hours will be paid for documenting
and following up with BLAST instructor, intern, site manager, and
family contact. This position is up to 30 hours per week.
This student-driven/teacher-led program strives to work toward a
level of independence for every student in the four main domains of
transition: Independent Living, Vocational and Employment, Personal
and Social, and Recreation and Leisure. Through hands-on learning
centers and labs, members also gain knowledge and experience in a
variety of independent living and self-determination skills. Young
adults in the program will be encouraged to make choices,
participate in work experiences, interact with others in the
community, strengthen their confidence level and develop their
social and communication skills across all settings.
This is a part-time, contracted position beginning August 2023
through May 2024 with the possibility of June hours. Up to 30 hours
per week in the Titusville area and Central Brevard. Three or five
days per week.
Requirements:
Pay is based on education and experience: $16.00 to $18.00 per
hour.
Qualified job coaches should email their resume to Terry Matson,
Transition Resource Teacher at Brevard Public Schools, at
