The ORI team

Why people love working at ORI

For decades, ORI has stayed steadfast in its mission, evolving its support so people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can live more independent, self-directed lives.

Being on the ORI team means joining a culture of compassion, expertise and advocacy — disability-forward professionals working together, and looking out for each other along the way.

  • A mission you can always come back to

    When the work gets hard, our mission is the North Star. It’s always there to remind you why you’re here.

  • Feedback in real time

    You see the effect of what you do every day, right in front of you. It’s the best performance feedback you could ask for.

  • People first — staff too

    ORI focuses on people’s wants, goals and needs, and that doesn’t stop with the people we serve. Everyone is listened to, and every opinion matters.

  • At the heart of Missoula

    A relaxed, creative, quirky crew from all walks of life. Our main office sits right across from the YMCA, in the middle of the community.

In their words

Hear from the people who do the work

A member of our team shares what a day at ORI really looks like, and what keeps them coming back.

  • Our clients are what make me come back to work no matter what. The work is inherently motivating because you get to see the effects of everything you do in real time.
  • My fellow employees really make this a great place to work. We support the people we serve, and we support each other. We’re constantly checking in and offering a hand.
  • Boredom is rare. The work is mentally and emotionally challenging, but only because it matters. You’ll have conversations here you won’t have anywhere else.

Benefits that take care of you

ORI is committed to investing in our employees’ success and well-being. From day one, you’ll have a generous paid time off package and flexible scheduling that supports work-life balance.

Our most overlooked benefit has to be loan forgiveness. I’m 12 months away from wiping away an $80,000 bill.
  • Generous paid time off

    More PTO than just about any profession. Our staff’s biggest worry is finding time to use it all.

  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness

    As a nonprofit, ORI is a qualifying employer for PSLF, so eligible student loans can be forgiven while you work.

  • Flexible scheduling

    Schedules that work around school, family and life — a great fit while you’re in college.

  • Health and retirement

    Health insurance and a retirement plan to support you now and down the road.

  • Bonuses

    Bonuses that recognize the work you put in.

  • Wellness workshops

    Complimentary health, wellness and personal development workshops for every employee.
