Believe and Achieve is looking for a reliable, dedicated, and caring Skills Trainer to assist adults with developmental disabilities in clients’ homes and in the community. Some of the people we support may require assistance with facilitating meaningful community connections, establishing friendships, and participating in a variety of recreational and educational activities.

All Skills Trainers receive training, mentorship, and ongoing support. This is a full-time or part-time position in Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, and surrounding areas.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Skills Trainers may work with customers virtually through phone calls, Zoom meetings, etc. While we're still offering some in-person support, it's up to each Skills Trainer to determine their comfort level with how they provide support.
