For many adults who experience disabilities the goal of living independently and on their own sometimes seems unattainable. But it isnt! Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are here to make the dream of living independently a reality. We actively support individuals in discovering their personal goals building life skills and meeting people where they are at in the pursuit of those goals. Sometimes this looks like supporting someone with their morning routines and body care building a meal plan advocating for the people we support or working through miscommunications and hurt feelings. Sometimes this means celebrating big wins as supported individuals plan and host their favorite celebrations like their first Super Bowl party! Other times this means pivoting our days to meet unexpected and unplanned needs. We support people so anything you do in your life as an adult might be something someone we support needs assistance to accomplish.

Do you love a job where youre always on the go and make a real difference in peoples lives

As a DSP youll be in constant motion actively working sidebyside with adults experiencing disabilities who are eager to achieve their goals and build a life they love. Forget the desk this is a handson position where youll spend most of your time active in the field helping individuals discover their potential build vital skills and engage in the life they choose. The challenge and perk of this position is its flexibility and digital nature. You are an active participant in structuring your day to meet supported individual company and team goals. While documentation skills are still essential it is accomplished via an iPad iPhone or laptop while you are out and about. On average you will spend about an hour a day on administrative work in the main office and the rest of your time in the field with supporting people in their homes or the community during a wide variety of activities.
