Job description

Looking for a creative, fun and fulfilling job in Apple Valley? MSS is hiring for a Service Coordinator to join our team in Dakota County. This role is a great fit for anyone interested in growing a career in disability services, human services, or social services. Our Apple Valley Center is conveniently located off Pilot Knob Road and easily accessible from Rosemount, Burnsville, and Farmington, making it one of the best places to work for local job applicants who want meaningful employment that makes a real difference.

Working at MSS isn’t a career, it’s a calling. For more than 75 years, the MSS community has been helping people with disabilities in the Twin Cities area live their lives with dignity, purpose, and joy. If you feel called to serve other people in a deeply meaningful way – and if you’re tired of working jobs that don’t fulfill your potential – MSS wants to hear from you!

MSS enthusiastically welcomes team members from all cultural and ethnic backgrounds, all sexual and gender identities, and all ages and abilities.

WHAT THIS JOB IS LIKE

• Reliable weekday hours. MSS Centers are open 7:30am – 4:00pm, Monday – Friday. No evenings or weekends required.
• Meaningful work that matters. As a Service Coordinator, you’ll work with a close-knit team to design and implement fun, meaningful, and rewarding programs for the people we serve in our programs.
  • Direct Care. All of our positions have a direct care component. You will help some people with day to day activities like eating lunch, taking medicine, and going to the bathroom.

WHY YOU’RE QUALIFIED

Every member of the MSS team is a unique individual, but here are three things you have in common with every member of our team:

• You’re caring. You’re patient and encouraging around people who have different needs. You believe that everyone deserves to have a good life, no matter what challenges they are facing.
• You’re experienced. You meet Minnesota’s requirements as a Designated Coordinator under 245D*. You understand the complexities of disability services, and you’re passionate about serving your clients well.
• You’re safe. You’re dependable, clear-headed, and serious about keeping people safe. You have a valid Minnesota driver’s license and a good recent driving record. You are able to obtain a DOT Medical card and you don’t mind going through a background check.

*Minnesota's Requirements for Designated Coordinators include:

• A BA/BS degree in a related field and 1 year work experience providing direct care for persons with disabilities; or an AA degree in a related field and 2 years of experience providing direct care for persons with disabilities; or a diploma in a related field from an accredited postsecondary institution and 3 years of experience providing direct care services to persons with disabilities; or a minimum of 50 hours of education and training related to human services and 4 years of work experience providing direct care services to persons with disabilities and older under the supervision of a staff person who meets the qualification identified in the above criteria.
