Journey To Thrive Ils

ILS Instructor — Make a Real Difference, Every Day

Journey To Thrive Independent Living Services (JTT ILS) Part-Time | Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–7:30 PM | $19–$20/hour

About the Role

Journey To Thrive ILS is looking for a motivated, reliable ILS Instructor to join our team supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as they build the skills they need to live independently and confidently.

This isn't a desk job. You'll be out in the community, one-on-one with individuals, teaching real-life skills using modern tools, hands-on practice, and teaching methods tailored to how each person learns best — visual, auditory, or hands-on. If you love seeing people grow and want a role where your work actually matters, this is it.

What You'll Be Doing

• Implementing individualized ILS curriculum and program goals
• Delivering one-on-one and group learning sessions to help individuals reach their IPP (Individual Program Plan) objectives
• Teaching practical life skills — cooking, budgeting, transportation, self-advocacy, safety, and more
• Tracking and documenting individual progress accurately and consistently
• Participating in assessments, planning meetings, and evaluations for the individuals you support
• Completing daily session notes/charting before clocking out each shift
• Completing 12 hours of in-service training annually

What You Need to Bring

• High school diploma or GED
• At least 1 year of experience working with children or adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to work independently and stay organized in the field
• Current First Aid/CPR certification (or willingness to obtain before start)
• Valid California driver's license, clean driving record, current auto insurance
• Reliable vehicle registered in your name (mileage reimbursed)
• Availability Monday–Friday within the 9:00 AM–7:30 PM window

Why JTT ILS

• Meaningful, hands-on work that directly changes lives
• Consistent weekday schedule — no nights, no weekends
• Supportive team environment with real training and growth opportunities
• Be part of a growing agency built on compliance, quality, and genuine care

Journey To Thrive ILS is a vendored Independent Living Skills provider through Alta California Regional Center (ACRC), committed to helping individuals with developmental disabilities gain the confidence and skills to live life on their own terms.
