Job Description

Job Description

Job Title: Caregiver / Direct Support Professional (DSP)

Location: Port Richey, FL

Schedule: Split shifts

  • Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:30 AM
  • Afternoon: 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM
  • Monday-Tuesday-Thursday-Friday
    (Approximately, aligned with day program schedule)

NOTE: This schedule can be split between two staff

Position Overview:
We are seeking a reliable, compassionate caregiver to support an adult male with a developmental disability before and after his daily program. This role requires consistency, physical capability, and strict punctuality due to the family’s work schedule and transportation coordination.

Key Responsibilities:

Morning Shift:

  • Assist with morning routine and getting ready for the day
  • Feeding
  • Personal care, including brief (pull-up) changes
  • Assist with mobility and transfers (client can walk with assistance but requires strength and support)
  • Ensure timely and safe transition onto the bus for day program

Afternoon Shift:

  • Meet client promptly upon return from day program
  • Assist with personal care and hygiene, including showering
  • Feeding if needed
  • Prepare client for evening/bedtime routine

About the Client:

  • Adult male with a developmental disability
  • Non-verbal (does not communicate verbally)
  • Requires hands-on assistance with daily living activities

Important Requirements:

  • Punctuality is critical.
    The client’s mother is a nurse who must leave for work at 6:00 AM sharp. In the afternoon, if the caregiver is not present, the transportation service will return the client to the program, which creates serious disruption. Reliability is essential.
  • Ability to perform physical tasks, including transfers and assisted walking
  • Experience with feeding and personal care preferred
  • Must have own reliable transportation

Qualifications:

  • APD certifications (or willingness to obtain, depending on agency requirements)
  • Level 2 background screening (or ability to pass)
  • Experience with developmental disabilities is a plus
  • Dependable, patient, and attentive

Ideal Candidate:
Someone who understands the importance of showing up on time, is comfortable with hands-on care, and can provide calm, consistent support in a structured routine.
