Supported Employment Assistant Program Manager - MV Advancements

Empower Careers and Foster Inclusion

For many adults who experience disabilities, the goal of having a job can sometimes seem unattainable. But it isn't! We are here to make the dream of having a fulfilling job a reality Sometimes, this looks like breaking down barriers to employment, advocating for the people we support, and working through miscommunications. Other times, this means celebrating big wins as job seekers find independence in their roles and no longer need us! We aim to work ourselves out of a job, one person at a time.

As a Supported Employment Assistant Manager, you'll be actively working with MVA Employment Consultants, directly supporting the Employment Manager and working side-by-side with adults experiencing disabilities who are eager to achieve their employment goals. Forget the desk - this is a hands-on position where you'll spend much of your time active in the field, helping job seekers discover their potential, build vital skills, and connect with employers who believe in inclusive opportunities while helping our team do the same. The challenge and perk of this position is its flexibility. You are an active participant in structuring your day to meet business, employer, and job seeker goals. While documentation skills are still essential, on average, you will spend just a small part of your day on administrative work and supporting staff members. The rest of your time in the field with job seekers or actively nurturing employer relationships.
