Work Experience Instructor, Plus

About Us:

Home Repairs for Good is a nonprofit organization in Indianapolis whose mission is helping older adults and those with disabilities age in place safely. We do this by providing home repairs at no cost to the homeowner. We use volunteers, workforce development trainees, subcontractors and staff to complete the repairs and fund them through donations and grants.

The primary responsibility of the instructor is to guide and supervise groups of adult learners during their hands‑on work experience in residential repairs. As an instructor, you will be teaching a diverse group of trainees how to safely and properly use power tools, complete home repairs on our clients’ homes, and model appropriate on‑the‑job soft skills needed to be successful coworkers and employees.

Outside of class time you will work with the rest of the instructional team to either prepare for classes (plan out repairs, acquire materials and supplies, prep & stock vehicles) as well as finish jobs at clients homes when appropriate. The majority of this job is outdoors within Marion County, Indiana with some office hours.
