Make a Difference Every Day

What if your career could give you the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone's life every day?

At Misericordia, Instructor/Trainers in Community Day Services (CDS) do much more than run activities. You develop and facilitate lesson-focused programming centered on integration into Chicagoland communities, helping participants build skills, confidence, and connections that support greater independence.

As a CDS Instructor/Trainer, you will find, develop, and access community partners with participants on a daily basis. You will engage with community organizations, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and may also assist with employment-centered training (job coaching) off site.

Previous experience working with people with intellectual disabilities is required.
