    Job Description

    Job Path supports autistic people and people with developmental disabilities as they make choices about their lives and play valued roles in their communities. Job Path encourages people to explore what they want out of life and to chart their own journeys. Whether it's finding a job, making a contribution in a volunteer role, establishing a home, or being part of the community, the goal is to assist the person to lead a full and active life.

    Job Path's Supported Employment program is seeking an energetic and creative person to work with participants and customize jobs for the people we support, which includes autistic people and adults with developmental disabilities. Using customized employment strategies, we pinpoint the skills and talents people can bring to the workforce and the conditions they need to be successful on the job. Then, we work with employers to create a job match that works for the business and the job seeker.

    The ideal candidate will be able to envision possibilities and opportunities for the individuals, and serve as a motivator for the members of a person's circle of support. The Disability Employment Specialist may provide direction to the members of the circle, giving them tasks to follow through on so that all may have a stake in the process of connecting the person to meaningful work.

    • Network with personal contacts and circles of support to expand and further develop a pool of connections with potential employers
    • Research businesses in NYC connected to people's interests
    • Establishing and facilitating new partnerships
    • Work with employers and organizations to customize jobs that meet the employers' needs and capitalize on the skills and talents of individual participants.
    • Provide on-the-job training and support to people on and off their job sites
