Disability Support Services Coordinator

Title: Disability Support Services Coordinator

Position Type: Professional Tech Full time

College: Front Range Community College

Division: Enrollment Management & Student Success

Department: Disability Support Services

Campus: Westminster Campus

Location: Westminster, CO

Salary Range: $52,517-$55,143 annually

With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, FRCC is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.

Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek.

One of FRCC’s main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college’s strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.

The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.

At FRCC, employees and leaders bring our values to life through their actions. We collaborate across roles and campuses, seek and value diverse perspectives, follow through on our commitments, and turn thoughtful ideas into meaningful improvements which are measured for success. We take pride in our work, support one another, and make decisions that advance student success, equity, and excellence. We seek people who will actively contribute to this culture and demonstrate these commitments every day.

The Disability Support Services (DSS) Coordinator advocates for the inclusion of students with disabilities and assists the college in maintaining compliance with federal disability statutes and FRCC policies. This position is the primary resource for all services to students with disabilities at Front Range Community College, providing direct service and facilitating related support services. The ideal candidate will have a broad knowledge of different types of disabilities and medical conditions, accessibility standards and practices, and academic accommodations, and serves as a resource on disability inclusion and accessibility to the college community.

The DSS Coordinator will be student-centered and will contribute to DSS practices that are equity centered. This position does have the opportunity to work remotely occasionally but does require a strong on-campus presence and may require occasional travel to all three FRCC campuses.
