Position Summary
The purpose of this position is to assist individuals who have an autism spectrum diagnosis to meet employment needs. This position further involves coordination of responsibilities involving planning program services/activities, monitoring, evaluating, and modifying program activities; and developing resources.
As part of the TEACCH and Employment Services philosophy, all staff members including administrative staff members will work directly with adults with autism as part of their job. This position is not center based, and all services are provided in the community. We are required to travel great distances, sometimes at a moment’s notice. Individuals in this position are required to work alone in the community providing support to autistic adults.
In addition to working with autistic adults, we work closely with the other support systems of the individual. This includes but is not limited to, additional family members, employers, other provider agencies, medical staff, residential providers, and local mental health agencies and other providers of funding for the services provided by TEACCH Employment Services. As a result, members of the staff must display excellent communication skills to maintain positive relationships with the community at large.
This position provides employment supports for approximately 25 people on the autism spectrum, who are already in stable job placements, but who are spread out over a large geographical area. They set their own schedules to meet client needs, and interface with many different agencies and companies. They need to work quickly to solve problems with minimal supervision, as they work more independently than Entry Level HSPSTs, but still operate under direct supervision for more complicated issues. Their case load remains mostly stable with a few changes throughout the year.
