Instructor Jobs

Inspired Living provides Independent Living Services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping them build skills that support independence. The Independent Living Instructor works one-on-one with a small number of assigned clients to teach skills the clients have chosen to develop. Sessions are individual rather than group-based, apart from occasional company client events. This is a teaching role focused on demonstrating skills, practicing them with clients, and gradually stepping back as clients become more independent; it is not a caregiving or companion role. Sessions take place in clients’ homes and community locations, typically in blocks of several hours. Skill areas may include cooking, meal planning, grocery shopping, food safety, budgeting, banking, paying bills, managing benefits, household routines, cleaning, laundry, personal hygiene, health routines, medical appointments, public transportation, community navigation, communication, self-advocacy, problem solving, and safe relationships. Community outings are used when they support a client’s goals. The instructor works independently without a supervisor on site, managing sessions, time, and decisions in the moment and escalating matters outside their scope to the ILS Manager. The role requires accurate and timely session notes and timesheets, consistent attendance, travel to clients, and transportation of clients during sessions when authorized. Schedule changes, client concerns, safety issues, and incidents must be promptly communicated to the ILS Manager. This is a part-time position serving clients throughout Contra Costa County. Availability is required for at least three four-hour blocks per week on at least three separate days, between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Instructors have input into the blocks they take, and schedules are arranged around client availability. Assigned hours depend on client assignments, may change with clients’ needs, goals, or availability, and are not guaranteed. Employment offers are contingent on completing a background check. Employment is at-will. Inspired Living is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the bases listed in the posting.
