ILR is recruiting for a full-time Deputy Director position.
ILR is seeking a dynamic, measured, IL professional to step into this unique opportunity.
The deputy director joins a staff team of 12 to provide guidance and professional supervision for an IL Team whose backgrounds include seasoned and mid-career Independent Living Specialists (ILSs).
More than 75% of ILR staff members typically identify as a person who experiences disability in life, and who work with consumers from a peer-based perspective. ILR operates on a 37.5 work week with a 3/2 flex-schedule (minimum of 3 in-office days).
Our disability-peers are also a team that has achieved professional credentials to supplement these peer services. On staff at ILR, we have a psychologist, vocational rehabilitation counselor, clinical social worker, sociologist, naturopathic physician, three work incentives coordinators, a database specialist, and an operations coordinator. We are also a field-placement site for graduate students in social work. Most of the IL staff are also certified ADRC Options Counselors. Some are certified benefits planners.
ILR served more than 300 consumers with Independent Living Plans in 2024, while also providing skills training via Rent Well and Traumatic Brain Injury support groups. ILR is also a statewide systems advocate as a member of the Association of Oregon Centers for Independent Living (AOCIL) and the Oregon State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL).
The new ILR Deputy Director will join a vibrant and diverse team seeking to enliven the Independent Living Movement moving into a new generation of leadership.
