Job Coach Position

Documentation and Following Regulations

As a Job Coach your primary role is to provide frequent support to people related to their work. In order to do this, there are other parts of the job that you must do.

These include:

Communicating with the managers, supervisors and co-workers of the person you support
Using alternative communication systems that the people you support might need – for example, some people are not able to speak and therefore use communication booklets, electronic talkers or other forms of communication. You will be trained on how to use these forms of communication as necessary.
Driving your own vehicle to get to the various job locations
Attending regular training and staff meetings for EBI, which may be at times different than your regularly scheduled work hours
Understanding and following local, state and federal rules and regulations that govern the services provided by EBI

Most of the documentation that you complete as a Job Coach is done immediately after meeting with the person that you support. It is crucial to document the time that you met with each person and what you did.

The paperwork you will complete as a Job Coach includes:

Brief case notes of the service you provided and progress made towards meeting goals
Monthly timesheets that document the amount of time spent traveling and time spent on and off the job site with the people you support. You will write one timesheet recording your hours and one time sheet for each person that you support to record their work hours.
Yearly plans written with the person you support that identify their goals for career advancement

Advocacy, Empowerment and Self-Determination
