Per Diem Direct Support Professional (DSP 2) Westchester County
YAI is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support and encouragement to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). We work to empower these individuals so they can achieve their fullest life possible, while providing them with a safe and respectful residential environment. We are looking to hire compassionate, experienced, and reliable Direct Support Professionals, at a Level 2, to join our team of dynamic individuals who every day choose to make a difference in the lives of others.
Our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) have a passion for working, caring, and advocating for adults with disabilities. Per diem DSPs play a valuable role at YAI, not only to the people we support, but in becoming a team player for programs that are reaching out for additional staff. By downloading an app to your mobile device, you would have the ability to set up your schedule while allowing for other responsibilities or obligations in your life. As “Per diem”, you can select the shifts you want, for the days you want, and offer to help during the hours that you are available. If current shifts don’t fit your schedule, wait for others to come along. When you need extra spending cash to help pay for holiday festivities, pick up a couple of additional shifts or do a double. If you’re a college student and need time off to study for finals, don’t schedule yourself during the week of exams. Or, are you possibly considering a new career path or contemplating other prospects in the field of human services? Why not discover what opportunities YAI has to offer, without the risk of jeopardizing your other obligations?
Per diem DSP 2 staff must have previously worked as a DSP 1 and possess the knowledge and skillset inherent with supporting individuals with I/DD. Coaching and assisting with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) continue to be fundamental to the position, as are other core competencies such as patience, respect, kindness, and accountability. At a “Level 2”, you will work directly with people in their home, work, and everyday life providing counsel in both individual and group settings. Principles such as promoting community integration and encouraging inclusive environments are fundamental when working towards objectives. Additionally, you will utilize higher-level support skills when dealing with individuals having moderate to complex levels of need. Offering added value such as contributing to the development of treatment plans, or understanding and incorporating person-specific clinical information, are examples of the collaborative relationship that exists between a DSP 2 and program supervisors. Candidates with integrity, who possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, will be selected for our best-in-class training program. They will be paid for their time invested in specified coursework and training classes, as well as their commitment to professional development during on-the-job training in the programs.
Now YAI offers “Work Today, Get Paid Today,” a voluntary benefit that provides YAI employees instant access to their earnings - for free. Direct Support Professionals can track their earnings after every shift and get paid instantly for the hours they just worked. No more waiting until payday to get what you’ve already earned; no more waiting for direct deposit or for a paper check to clear. You can even decide to get paid on the very first day you work.
Consider being a Per diem Direct Support Professional (DSP 2) at YAI. The rewards have no boundaries.
