Crossroads Continuum is hiring FOUR Skills Trainers to join our Commons Adult Day Program in Marlborough, MA!

At Crossroads, we believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Our Commons Program supports adults with autism through individualized skill-building, community engagement, and meaningful daily experiences that promote independence and quality of life.

As a Skills Trainer, you'll play an important role in helping the adults we serve develop essential life skills, build relationships, explore their interests, and actively participate in their communities.

No evenings or weekends — just meaningful work with a schedule that supports your life outside of work!

What You'll Do

Your responsibilities will include:

• Support individuals in developing daily living, communication, social, vocational, and independence skills.

• Support participants at volunteer and community worksites while promoting independence and confidence.

• Model and reinforce appropriate social interactions, communication, and positive behaviors.

• Maintain a safe, supportive, and engaging environment while providing appropriate supervision.

• Collect data, document progress, and communicate observations with the team.

• Collaborate with colleagues and program leadership to provide consistent, person-centered support.

• Celebrate individual achievements, big and small, while helping participants reach their personal goals!

What We're Looking For

We're looking for dependable, compassionate, energetic individuals who enjoy working with people and want to make a meaningful difference.

Required Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent.

Don't meet every preferred qualification? We still encourage you to apply! If you're dependable, eager to learn, and passionate about helping others succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
