Job DescriptionJob Description

 

We deliver exceptional service by hiring extraordinary talent

 

We are looking for part-time PRN Direct Support Professionals that are passionate about helping others and want to make a difference in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities.

 

Our current staffing need is for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-8p. Additional hours are available as well and can be flexible.

 

About Us

LittleStar ABA Therapy is a non-profit organization that has been providing ABA therapy for over 20-years. We were the first ABA center in the state of Indiana. In effort to further assist families with children with developmental disabilities, in 2015, we expanded services to include respite and Participant Assistance and Care (PAC) through the Family Support Waiver program.

 

Summary

The Direct Support Professional (DSP) position is fun and rewarding, and a great fit for those wanting to help others and looking for part-time hours. Direct Support Professionals provide much needed relief to the caregivers of individuals who are unable to care for themselves.  Activities may include planning and providing instruction or assistance in activities of daily living (e.g., cooking, housekeeping, hygiene, etc.), recreation and leisure, social and interpersonal skills, communication skills, decision making, self-advocacy, community integration, medication assistance, and other related services. Hours are flexible and available seven-days a week. Many families are looking for services late afternoon to early evening and on the weekends, but there is a growing need for services during the work week (Monday through Friday 7a-5p) as well.

 

We have clients looking for services in the Lafayette and surrounding areas including Fowler, Colfax, and Oxford.
