Demand Creates Dire Need to Fill 80+ Positions at One Step Beyond
By Marissa Baker - Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
One Step Beyond, Inc. (OSBI), a leading provider of innovative education programs for adults who have intellectual disabilities, is hiring for more than 80 open positions at its Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale, and Surprise locations.

Like so many organizations in the Valley, One Step Beyond—a nonprofit that offers comprehensive programs that empower individuals who have intellectual disabilities to be independent, effectively seek and maintain employment, and achieve greater social participation in their communities—is hiring and in desperate need of people to join their team.

“We are in dire need of people looking for purpose-driven employment,” said Jeff Swanson, Executive Director of Arizona Development and Communications. “But it’s not just any job seeker. We have the added challenge of finding people who have a compassionate heart.”

One Step Beyond and other similar organization’s inability to fill vacant positions means many of the Valley’s 50,000+ individuals who have intellectual disabilities are not receiving much-needed services.

One Step Beyond provides online and in-person programs that empower individuals with disabilities to realize the opportunities that lead to achieving the fundamental components of a fulfilling life: maximum independence, meaningful work, enriching social relationships, and full inclusion in community life.

Added Swanson, “Individuals who desperately need our programs and services are being denied access to care, classes, training, and employment. Families are on a waiting list with the hope that one day soon, their loved ones will receive the attention they need.”

One Step Beyond has open positions in the following areas: culinary, music, transportation, operations, direct support, and community integration services. To view a list of open positions, visit: https://www.indeed.com/cmp/One-Step-Beyond,-Inc/jobs.
