Program Instructor – Educational & Communication-Based Day Program
for Adults with Disabilities
Location: Flagstaff, AZ
Hours: Full-time | Monday–Friday | 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Position Summary:
Are you a creative, compassionate, and motivated individual looking to make a real impact in
your community? Join Quality Connections as a Program Instructor in our innovative Day
Treatment for Adults (DTA) program. Our educational and communication-centered program is
designed to empower adults with developmental disabilities by promoting independence,
skill-building, and personal growth through meaningful daily activities.
This is not a typical caregiving position — we’re looking for individuals who bring creativity and
flexibility into how they support and engage with those we serve. Whether it's designing
enrichment classes, introducing new ways to teach life skills, or finding unique ways to
communicate and connect, your creativity will help transform lives.
Key Responsibilities:
● Participate in comprehensive training to understand how to best support adults with
developmental disabilities.
● Deliver educational activities and life skills lessons tailored to individual learning styles,
interests, and goals .
● Implement person-centered service plans and support individuals in achieving their
personal objectives.
● Maintain accurate documentation of participant progress, activities, and achievements.
● Ensure a safe, clean, and supportive environment by assisting with hygiene, mobility,
medications, nutrition, and general well-being.
● Provide transportation in company vehicles and support community-based learning
experiences, such as local events or errands.
● Teach enrichment classes in areas that reflect your own passions or talents — from art
or music to science or fitness, theater or daily living skills.
● Proactively engage participants with creativity and empathy to make each day
meaningful and fulfilling.
● Collaborate with a team and communicate professionally with colleagues, families, and
external partners.
● Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement as our Day Program evolves to meet
the needs of the people we serve.
What Makes This Role Special:
This position is deeply rewarding for individuals who enjoy thinking outside the box and
bringing new ideas to life. You’ll have the freedom to tailor your teaching approach, create
engaging learning moments, and build real relationships that make a difference. Every day
brings a chance to celebrate successes, encourage growth, and make someone’s life better —
often in unexpected ways. Bring your creativity and compassion to a role where every day offers
the opportunity to grow — both personally and professionally.
Minimum Qualifications:
● Must be at least 18 years of age and possess a high school diploma or equivalent.
● Available to work full-time, Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM.
● Valid Arizona Driver’s License with a clean driving record (3 years).
● Ability to pass a background check and obtain a Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card
through the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
● Physical ability to assist with mobility, lifting, and personal care as needed.

environment for both employees and program participants. Our mission is to promote
