We are looking for enthusiastic, dependable, and compassionate individuals to join our team and help our participants live their best, most independent lives.




The Role

As a DSP, you aren't just a caregiver; you are an advocate and a mentor. Because every participant has unique needs, your day-to-day will vary. You might provide hands-on assistance with personal care for one individual, while helping another navigate the grocery store or discover a new hobby. You may also provide overnight respite services, offering supervision, support, and peace of mind while primary caregivers take some time for themselves.

  • Health & Wellness: Ensure participants receive prescribed medications and monitor their overall health, safety, and welfare.

  • Daily Living Support: Assist with ADLs, including meal preparation, personal hygiene, and household maintenance as needed.

  • Goal Achievement: Partner with participants to reach their personal goals and develop new skills for independence.

  • Community Engagement: Accompany participants on outings and encourage social interaction—having fun is a job requirement!

  • Documentation: Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant daily progress notes and paperwork.




Qualifications

  • Education: High School Diploma or GED equivalent.

  • Experience: At least one year of experience in human services, healthcare, or a related caregiving field is preferred, but not required.

  • Age: Must be 18 years of age or older.

  • Mobility: Valid Driver’s License and active auto insurance.

  • Screening: Ability to pass background checks and drug screenings.

  • Communication: Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate effectively with participants, families, and administrative staff.




Why Join Our Team?

We take pride in having a strong culture of caring—not just for our participants, but for our employees too.

  • Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a highly flexible work schedule tailored to your availability.

  • Autonomy: Have a say in your service provision and the participants you support.
