This role also operates in a Supported Employment (SE) Setting, defined as services “that enables the member to obtain and maintain individual employment” (Iowa Health & Human Services).

If you’re passionate about empowering people to reach their goals and help them strive for more, we want you to join our team.

You will creatively strategize ways for an individual to find employment that suits their skills, abilities, and goals. Your innovative and impactful solutions and strategies will make the difference for those you serve.
