Support Coordination is responsible for coordinating and monitoring all services a person on the ID/DD Waiver receives, regardless of funding source, to ensure services are adequate, appropriate, meet the person’s needs, and ensure the person’s health and safety needs are met and addressed. 

 

Support Coordinators assist each person in locating services and supports in the community, monitor and address changing circumstances on an ongoing basis, and address the person’s options and choices that are available in the community. Support Coordinators must have at least a bachelor’s degree in a human services-related field with no experience required or at least a bachelor’s degree in a non-related field and at least one (1) year of relevant work experience. Relevant experience is defined as full-time experience working directly with people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, other types of disabilities, or mental illness.

 

Support Coordinators with the Arc of Mississippi are hired on a contractual basis to provide services to a caseload of 15, 20, or 30 individuals.
