Build a Career That Changes Lives

Looking for more than just a job? Join a team where the work you do every day helps someone live a more independent, confident, and fulfilling life.

As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you'll support individuals with developmental disabilities, behavioral challenges, and complex needs in their homes and throughout the community. You'll provide hands-on assistance while encouraging independence, building meaningful relationships, and helping individuals reach their personal goals.

No two days are the same, but every day you'll leave knowing your work made a real difference.

What You'll Do

As a DSP, you'll play an important role in helping individuals thrive by:

• Building meaningful, trusting relationships with the individuals you support
• Assisting with personal care, hygiene, meals, medication reminders, and daily routines
• Encouraging independence through life skills such as budgeting, communication, nutrition, and healthy living
• Supporting community involvement, recreational activities, and social engagement
• Providing patient, respectful support to individuals with behavioral or complex needs
• Creating a safe, positive, and supportive home environment
• Working alongside your team to help individuals achieve their personal goals

What We Offer: 

• Pay: $17.00/hour
• Pay on Demand: Access your earnings when you need them
• Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance for full-time employees
  
• 401(k) with a 3% Company Match
  
• Paid Time Off & Holiday Pay: Time to rest, recharge, and be your best
  
• Employee Referral Program
  
• Paid Training: No experience? We'll provide the training you need to succeed
  
• Career Growth: Opportunities to advance within a stable, growing national organization
  
• Supportive Leadership: Managers who value, encourage, and invest in your success

Who Thrives in This Role

You don't need a healthcare background to be great at this job. You just need the right mindset.

We’re looking for people who are:

• Compassionate, patient, and dependable
• Comfortable working with individuals with behavioral or complex needs
• Good communicators and team players
• Flexible and able to adapt in real time
• Responsible, reliable, and consistent

What You'll Need:

• High School Diploma or GED 
• Valid driver's license (held for at least one year)
• Access to a registered, insured vehicle
• Ability to support individuals in home and community settings 

Experience in caregiving, healthcare, CNA work, behavioral health, or human services is helpful but not required. We provide training and support so you can succeed.

Why This Work Matters

Every person deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, independence, and purpose.

As a Direct Support Professional, you'll celebrate milestones, encourage growth, and help individuals experience things many of us take for granted. Whether it's learning a new skill, participating in the community, or simply having someone believe in them, your support makes those moments possible.

This isn't just a full-time job. It's meaningful work, a stable career, and an opportunity to make a lasting impact every single day.

Apply today and build a career where compassion meets purpose.
