  • You are open to collaborating with your co-workers and others to better meet the needs of your participants. You are also adaptable to changes in workload, policies and procedures.
  • You are comfortable with technology, using multiple computer and business programs.
    • What we offer:
  • A career in a helping and caring profession with the ability to make a profound and lasting impact in the lives of people.

  • Every day is different with variety in tasks and challenges.
  • Training from orientation to on-going professional development within EIA that will give you the tools you need to be successful.
