Independent Living Specialist - Mobile Unit

Atlantis Community Inc. (ACI) has been advocating for people with disabilities for 50 years. Atlantis serves a seven-county catchment area (Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, and Jefferson Counties). As a Center for Independent Living, we support the rights of people with disabilities to direct their own lives by providing advocacy, life skills training, transition services (youth, from nursing homes, and diversions from institutions), information and referral, and peer support.

The mission of Atlantis is to advocate for all people with disabilities to be a meaningful part of an integrated community of their choice.

The Independent Living Specialist - Mobile Unit is a position within ACI’s Independent Living (IL) Department that delivers community-based Independent Living services through the Mobile Unit while also supporting internal IL operations to ensure coordinated, continuous service delivery. This role combines field-based outreach with in-office responsibilities, working collaboratively with IL staff to meet consumer needs, maintain accurate documentation, and support program priorities across ACI’s service area.

To be successful in this role, you will be comfortable working in a primarily field-based environment while balancing in-office responsibilities for documentation, coordination, and follow-up. You’ll bring strong organizational and time-management skills to support scheduled outreach, partner site services, and group or shared settings, while maintaining clear communication with internal teams. Success in this position requires adaptability, professionalism, and the ability to work independently while traveling throughout ACI’s seven-county service area using the Mobile Unit.

You will understand how to deliver services within a structured outreach model, respond to community needs based on program priorities, and provide consistent, person-centered Independent Living support. A commitment to accessibility, collaboration, and ACI’s mission of empowering individuals to live independently is essential. This position reports to the Director of Independent Living Programs.
