Help Others Succeed: Become a Job Trainer!
Are you driven by a deep desire to make a real difference in someone's life? Do you possess the patience of a saint, the wit of a stand-up comedian, and the heart of a true advocate? If so, we at GAAMHA's Coleman Packaging & Assembly have an incredible opportunity for you.
We're not just looking for someone to fill a role; we're searching for a champion of potential. As our Job Trainer, you won't just be teaching tasks; you'll be igniting confidence, fostering independence, and celebrating triumphs – big and small.
At our enclave within the GAAMHA organization, we provide vital training opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Our mission is clear: to create a world where people can access help when they ask for it, no matter who they are. And you will be a crucial part of fulfilling that mission.
What You'll Do (and Why It's Important):
- Be a Helper: You'll give one-on-one training and support. You'll show people how to do tasks, give them helpful feedback, and answer their questions.
- Help People Learn: You'll break down complicated tasks into smaller, easier steps. You'll change your teaching style to fit each person's needs.
- Keep People Motivated: You'll create a fun and positive learning environment. You'll celebrate every achievement and encourage people when things get tough.
- Track Progress: You'll keep track of how everyone is doing, find areas where they can improve, and change your training methods if needed. You'll also talk regularly with your supervisor.
- Work as a Team: You'll work with staff in other departments to provide the best support. You'll also keep records of progress and performance on a computer.
- A high school diploma or GED.
- A valid driver's license.
- Experience working with people with disabilities is helpful, but being caring and understanding is most important.
- You need to be able to communicate clearly, patiently and have a good sense of humor.
- You must really want to help others succeed.
- The ability to lift and move up to 40lbs.
- What We Offer:
- A job where you can make a real difference.
- Full training on our processes.
- A friendly and supportive team.
If you want to be more than just a trainer – if you want to be a champion for others – apply today! Let's work together to help everyone have the chance to succeed.
