  • Maintain a safe, positive, and professional learning environment
  • Collect simple progress notes and documentation
  • Assist with lesson preparation, curriculum, and classroom organization
  • Help coordinate daily schedules, activities, and materials
  • Model professionalism and provide guidance to instructors and volunteers
  • Communicate effectively with staff, families, and community partners

Preferred Experience

Experience in one or more of the following is preferred:

  • ABA
  • Special Education
  • Adult Day Programs
  • Vocational Training
  • Supported Employment
  • Behavioral Support
  • Recreation Therapy
  • Direct Support Professional (DSP)
  • Teaching or Instruction

Experience is preferred but not required for the right candidate.

Requirements

  • High school diploma required (Bachelor's degree preferred)
  • Valid California driver's license with a clean driving record
  • Comfortable driving a program van or transporting students in a vehicle to community activities
  • Authorized to work in the United States
  • Able to assist participants during community outings and volunteer activities

Why Join Inclusive World?

  • Small groups where you build meaningful relationships
  • Supportive, collaborative team
  • Paid training and professional development
  • Predictable weekday schedule

Opportunity to grow into a leadership role as the organization expands

Every week you'll see tangible progress as participants gain confidence, independence, and vocational skills while becoming active members of their community. If you're looking for meaningful work where you can make a lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you.
