Job Coach – Adults with Disabilities | Paid Training | No Weekends

As a Job Coach, you'll provide one-on-one support to adults with disabilities as they gain valuable work experience at local businesses throughout Orange County.

Work Location

This is a community-based/field position. Although the administrative office is in Anaheim, Job Coaches work directly with participants at businesses throughout Orange County. The organization makes every effort to assign coaches to participants in or near their home communities, but travel to different locations throughout Orange County may be required. Applicants must be comfortable working independently in community settings and using their personal vehicles to transport participants.
