The Dalles, Oregon, United States Community Access Full time

At Community Access Services, we are seeking a dedicated Direct Support Professional to join our Day Support Activities (DSA) program. As a key member of our team, you will play a vital role in supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in achieving greater independence and actively participating in their communities.

Your primary responsibilities will include engaging individuals in community-based activities, such as recreational outings, arts and crafts, and group events. You will also support the development of social and life skills by facilitating interactive activities and promoting positive peer interactions.

In addition to these responsibilities, you will assist with daily living tasks when needed, such as meal preparation and personal care. You will also help individuals identify and achieve personal goals, fostering self-confidence and independence.

To be successful in this role, you will need to possess strong communication skills and a compassionate, patient demeanor. You will also need to be able to work independently and as part of a team, and be capable of performing physical tasks, including lifting up to 50 lbs.

We offer a competitive wage of $21-$22 per hour, comprehensive health insurance, and a range of financial support programs. If you are passionate about supporting individuals with IDD and are looking for a rewarding career, we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Engage individuals in community-based activities such as recreational outings, arts and crafts, and group events.
  • Support the development of social and life skills by facilitating interactive activities and promoting positive peer interactions.
  • Assist with daily living tasks when needed, such as meal preparation and personal care.
  • Help individuals identify and achieve personal goals, fostering self-confidence and independence.
  • Document progress, behaviors, and health status to ensure a supportive and safe environment.

Qualifications:

  • High school diploma or GED required.
  • Previous experience in caregiving or a related field is a plus, but not required—training will be provided.
  • Strong communication skills and a compassionate, patient demeanor.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
  • Must be able to pass a background check.
  • Capable of performing physical tasks, including lifting up to 50 lbs.

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive wages of $21-$22 per hour, rewarding your hard work and dedication.
  • Comprehensive health insurance, including medical, dental, and vision plans.
  • Financial support programs like FSA, HRA, and employee assistance services.
  • Company-covered short and long-term disability insurance.
  • A 403(B) pension plan to help secure your financial future.
  • Generous PTO, paid sick leave, and 7 paid holidays to ensure you have time to rest.
  • Attractive referral bonuses for helping us grow our team.
