Habilitation Training Specialist

If you are a positive and personable individual looking for a satisfying and fun opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of people with intellectual, developmental disabilities, and people facing mental health, join our team at Ability Works of Oklahoma

Are you a caring person who enjoys helping others and making a difference? Do your friends or family describe you as compassionate, an excellent communicator, reliable, and accommodating?
If the answer is yes, then we ask you to join a team of dedicated caregivers as a Habilitation Training Specialist (HTS). We have found the most effective caregivers are compassionate, effective communicators, reliable, and adaptable to the needs of the people we support. With these attributes you can make a positive difference in the lives of people with disabilities. In this rewarding role, you will be a valued member of a care team, enabling people that AbilityWorks supports identify and achieve personal goals, experience meaningful days, participate in the community, and live more independently. From one day to the next, you'll have the opportunity to develop a relationship with the people you support as an advocate, teacher, shopping partner, role model, coach, mentor, companion, personal champion and more. As many caregivers at AbilityWorks will tell you, they came to work to make a difference for others, but ultimately found their own lives enriched through the bonds they formed with the people they support.
