When people join El Valor, they know it’s more than just a job. El Valor’s employees start at all levels of the Organization and often stay for an entire career.
People stay because this place is different. When you walk into an El Valor building, you feel that special quality, from the music playing in the hallways to the smell of a fresh meal being prepared in the kitchen. The staff greet participants by name. The laughter in the classrooms lets you know this is more than a workplace. It feels like a community.
This is a place where people take care of each other. Where your coworkers become your people.
We are looking for people who care. People who show up not just for a paycheck, but because they believe every person deserves the chance to learn, grow, and live with dignity.
El Valor has more than 320 team members across 12 locations in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Our team includes early childhood educators, therapists, direct support professionals, case managers, job coaches, administrative staff, kitchen teams, and more. No matter what role you are in, you are part of the mission.
*Bilingual (English and Spanish) candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.*
Many of the families and participants we serve speak Spanish at home, and being able to communicate in their language makes a real difference.
