Role Description

You'll independently deliver training and technical assistance focused primarily on helping providers navigate Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSI/SSDI) access for the people they serve. You'll bring both subject-matter expertise and strong facilitation skills to clinical and non-clinical audiences, and you'll help ensure the trainings you build stay grounded in real-world, person-centered practice.

What You'll Do

  • Training Delivery and Facilitation
    • Independently deliver training for clinical and non-clinical staff on disability benefits access and other behavioral health programs.
    • Develop training curricula and materials using adult learning principles, and contribute ongoing updates and improvements.
    • Provide coaching and technical assistance to agencies to help improve the quality and success rate of their applications.
    • Collect feedback and outcome data to continuously refine your trainings.
  • Technical Expertise
    • Maintain working knowledge of SSI/SSDI programs, disability determination processes, and recovery-oriented behavioral health practices.
    • Apply evidence-informed practices and program evaluation findings to how you design and deliver training.
    • Track outcomes and flag opportunities for quality improvement.
  • Stakeholder Engagement
    • Build and maintain relationships with behavioral health providers and community organizations to support training implementation.
    • Serve as a day-to-day resource for staff navigating disability benefit processes and best practices.
    • Incorporate input from individuals with lived experience to keep trainings relevant and person-centered.
  • Continuous Improvement and Collaboration
    • Contribute to training resources, toolkits, and guides used statewide.
    • Collaborate with fellow trainers to share best practices.
    • Support the standardization of training practices across your assigned programs.

Qualifications

  • 2–4 years of experience in behavioral health, recovery supports, or related social services.
  • Experience delivering training, coaching, or technical assistance using adult learning principles.
  • Working knowledge of SSI/SSDI and other disability benefit processes.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create clear training materials.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple training engagements at once.
  • Willingness to travel as needed to deliver in-person trainings.

Also Valued

  • Lived experience navigating disability benefits or behavioral health systems — personally or through a family member — is valued and may substitute for some of the experience above.

Even Better if You Bring

  • Experience or residence in the state of Michigan.

Benefits

  • Competitive Medical, Dental and Optical plans
  • Generous Paid Time Off, 8 Company observed holidays plus 3 floating holidays
  • Tuition Assistance
  • 401K Plan (3% employer contribution plus opportunity for gainsharing)
  • Life, AD&D & Disability coverage
  • A flexible work environment and more!

Work Eligibility & Requirements

  • Candidates must be currently eligible to work in the United States; sponsorship is not available.
  • All work must be performed within the continental U.S. for the duration of employment, unless required by contract.
  • Ability to work core hours aligned with Eastern Time, unless otherwise approved by your manager.
  • Remote employees must maintain a dedicated, ergonomically appropriate workspace free from distractions, with reliable internet and a mobile device that supports efficient work.
  • Travel Requirements: <10%
