About The Position

Learnability is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Designated Coordinator. This role involves the oversight and support of two delightful adult roommates who share a home together. Both individuals are non verbal communicators, who have complex needs, including behavioral and sensory difficulties, as well as intellectual, physical, and mental health diagnoses such as Down Syndrome, Angelman Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and anxiety. This role is about more than supervision-it's about building trust, understanding unique communication, and creating a truly person-centered, peaceful, structured, joy-filled life. You'll lead a dedicated team while collaborating with family and providers to set meaningful goals and deliver exceptional care. If you're patient, steady, and resilient, this could be one of the most rewarding jobs you'll ever have.
