Here's What We’re Looking For In A Social Day Program Specialist:
Someone looking for a job that is fun, offers learning opportunities and lots of laughter, all the while making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities! Every day is different based on the calendar of activities. You could be running a trivia group, taking a group out on an outing, leading a game, helping someone complete a craft or teaching members something new from our smartboard.

Here Are Some Other Things To Consider When Evaluating If This Role Is Right For You:
Organization: Our calendar is always changing and no day is ever the same! Expect to jump from task to task depending on the day’s activities and outings. To do this well, we will need you to be great at planning, multi-tasking and doing what it takes to get stuff done!
Team Attitude: We are all on the same team and when one of us succeeds, we all do. As a small organization we depend on each other to pitch in on things that may not be in your job description.
Passion, Resilience And Persistence: Working with people who are dealing with significant loss and chronic health conditions is not easy. It takes passion to help others achieve their goals; and resilience and perseverance to get through some of the days that will be demanding, but in the end makes your work meaningful and rewarding!
