Direct Support Professional

$18.43 per hour

The Center for Family Support, INc.

Direct Support Professional

It takes a truly special person to be a great Direct Support Professional: you must be passionate about helping others, dedicated to protecting a person's rights, andmost of allwilling to offer true, genuine friendship, through good times, bad times, laughter, and shared experiences. Far too many developmentally disabled individuals are held back by the lack of a solid support system, and as a DSP, you can change that. DSPs should be strong, compassionate individuals dedicated to creating a better world for others, through both full-time and part-time positions available in our programs.

The Center for Family Support (CFS) mission is to provide support and assistance to individuals with developmental and related disabilities. We are the first agency in New Jersey and New York to achieve the Council on Quality and Leadership Certification (CQL). By achieving this certification, it shows our commitment and dedication to creating services that enhance and improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Help the people we support to have meaningful lives. Listen to their dreams and help them learn skills to live the lives they choose.
  • Help each individual to tell us what is important to them and important for them. Involve them in activities that match their interests, gifts and plans.
  • Help individuals we support learn how to form and continue positive relationships with people in their community.
  • Respect the rights of the people we support and teach them to speak up for themselves.
  • Use the person-centered philosophy throughout the day. Use each moment as a teachable moment.
  • Show a positive attitude toward work and others.
  • Protect the health of the people you support. This may include giving medication, following doctor's orders, going on medical appointments and/or seeking emergency medical care when necessary.
  • Join with other team members in the development of the service plan and carry out all parts for which you are responsible.
  • Protect the safety of the people you support by providing the level of supervision described in the person's service plan and by reporting to your supervisor any potentially dangerous situations.
  • Follow all agency procedures regarding incident reporting and reporting possible abuse. Cooperate with Agency and Division staff during any investigations and inspections.
  • Be polite and professional when talking to all others.

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or GED equivalent required
  • Valid driver's license preferred, depending on program needs
  • Some experience in healthcare or human services is a plus

The Center for Family Support provides equal employment opportunities to all. We celebrate the wonderful qualities that make each of us unique and greatly value how they enrich the work we do. If you want to work with a caring group of people making a difference in the lives of the people we serve, apply today!
