A4TD has an opening for a Career Navigator to join our dedicated, mission-driven team. Our dynamic team comes from diverse backgrounds. We are teachers, coaches, accountants, former restaurant managers, veterans, and more.
Are you a self-starter, curious and creative, ready to learn? If you are motivated to make a difference, this may be a great fit. We can train the right person.
What is the job?
You will be part of a team that administers the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) in Northeastern Maine. The SCSEP helps low-income, unemployed seniors by assigning them to paid internships at local nonprofits and public agencies, then helps them transition to permanent employment and achieve economic independence. Your job is to support the program participants through all stages of the SCSEP program: as they enter, grow and learn, and transition to permanent employment. Building community partnerships and understanding the local labor market are two ways in which you support participants. The position is based in Bangor and oversees 5 counties.
What are my job functions?
• You will recruit applicants, assign participants to host agency sites for their internship, supervise and assist staff, meet with host agency supervisors, and build program capacity by developing partnerships with training, employer and service organizations.
• You will work directly with participants: identify their training needs, recognize barriers to employment, determine any support services needed, and support job search efforts.
• Other special projects may be assigned. Moderate in-state travel is required and reimbursed.
Salary: $42,000-$44,000 per year
