Description

Help Adults with Disabilities Live Bigger, More Independent Lives

At Magnify, we believe every person deserves opportunities to learn, grow, connect, and experience a meaningful life.

We're looking for caring, energetic, and dependable people to join our team as Life Enrichment Coaches. In this role, you'll spend your days helping adults with developmental disabilities participate in community activities, learn new skills, build friendships, and gain greater independence.

If you're patient, creative, enjoy working with people, and want a career that truly matters, we'd love to meet you.
