Hours fall between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., with the greatest need from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Some weekend hours may be included and will vary according to the coach’s availability and clients’ schedules.

CRI is a local organization that provides employment skills support to individuals who may face barriers, typically related to disability. Its mission is to empower and support individuals to achieve their highest level of independence in the community. Job Coaches help clients use their abilities and skills to succeed in community-based business jobs. The role focuses on demonstrating and supporting clients as they complete their work tasks—not completing the tasks for them—and helping clients become independent enough to work without the coach. Coaches also maintain documentation after meeting with clients.
