We support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a variety of community-based living options as they pursue independence, live with dignity, and engage as full members of their communities. In a world that is not equally optimized for everyone’s success, we believe every person is entitled to receive resources, supports, and opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.

Hope Well’s Shared Living Program offers high quality placements that support individuals toward leading happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. Staff develop partnerships with individuals and caregivers centered around individuals’ needs and interests that evolve as they age.

We're seeking a compassionate relationship-builder who thrives on creating meaningful connections between people and possibilities. The ideal candidate brings a blend of empathy and organizational excellence, approaching each placement as an opportunity to transform a life. You're a natural collaborator who communicates effectively with diverse stakeholders while maintaining unwavering attention to detail. Your innovative thinking helps you navigate challenges with creative solutions, and your resilience keeps you focused when circumstances evolve.

Most importantly, you're driven by a genuine passion for empowering individuals with different abilities to live their fullest lives in welcoming community settings. If you believe in the power of home to nurture independence and see yourself as both an advocate and enabler of positive change, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

The Shared Living Coordinator manages and oversees high quality placements, with the goal of supporting individuals in Hope Well’s Shared Living and In-Home Support programs to live a happy, healthy, and productive life.
