At May Institute, our employees support children and adults with autism, brain injury, developmental disabilities, and other neurobehavioral disorders across schools, homes, residential programs, day habilitation programs, and community-based services throughout Massachusetts. We’re looking for an engaging, energetic, and mission-driven trainer who is passionate about teaching others, building confidence, and helping new employees feel prepared to make a real impact from day one. In this role, you’ll lead New Hire Orientation, Safety-Care, and CPR/First Aid trainings for employees across the organization — from Direct Support Professionals and Teachers to Nurses, Clinicians, and Directors. Your classroom will be filled with people preparing to support individuals across all stages of life, from young children to older adults. This is more than training.

• Help new employees connect to the mission: Introduce staff to the people we serve, the work we do, and the impact they’ll have every single day.
• Prepare staff to support individuals safely and confidently: Teach hands-on safety techniques, coach learners through real-world scenarios, and help employees build the confidence they need before entering the field.
• Create a welcoming and positive learning environment: We want someone who can make people feel comfortable asking questions, participating, practicing skills, and learning together.
• Keep trainings organized and compliant: Track attendance, certifications, and training completion records to ensure employees stay current and prepared.
