Join Our Team and Make Every Day a New Adventure

Are you someone who loves helping others and making a real difference in someone's life? If you’ve got a big heart and a positive attitude, we want you as our next Part-Time Direct Support Professional (DSP)

What’s in it for you?

You'll be working with an amazing 26-year-old young lady who uses a manual wheelchair and is excited to gain more independence. She’s fun, motivated, and loves learning new life skills—with the support of her loving family right by her side.

Your schedule:

  • TWO afternoon/evening shifts per week (3:30 PM - 7:30 PM)

  • Saturday and/or Sunday (7:30 AM - 7:30 PM)

  • Alternating weekends possible—you’ll have flexibility

Who we’re looking for:

  • You’re kind, fun, and patient.

  • You enjoy learning new things and helping others do the same.

  • You’re comfortable providing personal care (and have some experience with it).

  • Lifting 50 pounds is no problem for you.

  • Love to walk and swim? So does she—join in on the fun

  • You love small dogs because they’ll be part of your new work family too

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll be there to support her as she works toward her independence—helping with personal care, ensuring her safety, and making every day a positive experience. Plus, you’ll get to play a key role in helping her reach her goals as outlined in her Individual Support Plan (ISP). Your knowledge of seizure disorders will help you stay on top of safety protocols, and your awesome problem-solving skills will keep things running smoothly.

Qualifications:

  • High School Diploma or GED

  • DSP experience? Even better

  • Experience with seizure disorders? Major bonus

  • A love for small dogs is a must.

This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to bring joy, support someone’s growth, and create meaningful moments. Ready to be a part of something awesome? We’d love to meet you
