We are looking to add new Life Skills Coaches to our amazing team!

We are Cypress Independent Living Services, Inc., one of the largest independent providers of services to Developmentally Disabled Adults and Seniors in the San Francisco South Bay area.
Our services are goal oriented and are driven by the philosophy that the more independent individuals are in their daily lives, the more successful they will be.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
A Life Skills Coach (LSC) works with and supports individuals with intellectual/ developmental disabilities in the places they live and work. LSC's perform their jobs in licensed homes, day programs, supported or independent living environments, and work sites. A Life Skills Coach has many important roles to play.

A PARTNER - assisting individuals to lead independent lives and participate in and contribute to the community.

A TEACHER - finding creative and fun ways to help individuals learn meaningful skills and providing them with information to make the best choices for themselves.

An AMBASSADOR - to the individual’s community, encouraging others to interact with individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities as neighbors, friends, and co-workers.

An ADVOCATE - supporting individuals to exercise their rights and responsibilities.

A SUPPORTER - seeking to understand the likes, dislikes, hopes, and dreams of individuals they support and working with them as they make progress toward their life goals.

All of the roles that you play have a common focus on supporting individuals to live the kind of lives they choose. The LSC is a Partner, Teacher, Ambassador, Advocate, and Supporter. The LSC is not a Boss or one who orders people around and makes them do things they may not want to do. Likewise, the LSC is not a Parent to the individuals they support.

The job of the LSC carries a great deal of responsibility, and it is easy to get these roles confused.
