Independent Living Coordinator
Full-Time | Norfolk, VA | $32,860 – $34,445 annually
Benefits Begin Day 1!
At the Endependence Center, we believe that people with disabilities should have the power, resources, and opportunity to live independently and direct their own lives. We’re not just a workplace — we’re a community of advocates, problem-solvers, and allies working together to advance the Independent Living philosophy.
About the Role
As an Independent Living Coordinator, you’ll be a trusted partner for individuals with disabilities as they identify and achieve their independent living goals. Each day brings new opportunities to make a real impact — from providing one-on-one support and skill-building to engaging in systems advocacy and community outreach.
This position is ideal for someone who values empowerment over caretaking and who believes in supporting people to make their own choices, access their rights, and live full, independent lives.
What You Will Do
- Work directly with Center participants to develop and support their independent living plans.
- Provide individualized services, including skills training, peer mentoring, and advocacy.
- Engage in outreach and community activity to promote disability rights and inclusion.
- Serve as a positive role model and help others build confidence and independence.
- Keep accurate documentation and participate in team meetings and training.
What We are Looking For
- Personal experience with disability.
- Knowledge of disability services, systems, and community resources.
- Compassionate communication skills and a collaborative spirit.
- Disability advocacy experience
- A belief in equality, accessibility, and the power of self-determination.
