Current Opportunities
Employment Coach
The Employment Coach will provide direct vocational support to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the community at various job sites and at Down Syndrome Innovations’ office to assist individuals in preparing for, obtaining, and maintaining employment, both in group and 1-on-1 settings. This includes providing job coaching support in our Apprenticeship and Internship programs and teaching Employment classes in our ACE Academy program. This is a collaborative position, working in close partnership with the Director of Employment Services and Adult Continuing Education Director to ensure all aspects of services are well-coordinated within our organization and that we are improving the quality of life of the participants with Down syndrome we serve.
Director of Communications & Marketing
DSI is seeking a highly organized, creative, and mission-driven communications professional to lead our marketing and communications efforts. This is a hands-on role for someone who excels in both strategy and execution. Responsibilities include drafting and executing newsletters, updating
the website, creating social media content, coordinating event materials, and capturing stories that highlight the impact of our mission.
We are looking for someone who is collaborative, adaptable, fast-moving, and excited to help grow awareness and support for individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys doing the work, not just directing it. We value creativity, responsiveness, collaboration, humility, and follow-through. The right candidate will be comfortable jumping into many different types of projects and helping move the mission forward in
practical, meaningful ways.
