Direct Support Professional - Substitutes

$19 - $22 per hour

Coarc

Direct Support Professional Substitutes

At The Arc Columbia-Saratoga, we belong to a mission that expands abilities, one person at a time. Our work is both rewarding and challenging, and we support each other through a culture of belonging, respect, and shared purpose. When you join us, you will be making a difference in your community while being valued for your contributions.

Pay Rate: $19.00 - $22.00 per hour (based on program site) + Additional $2.00/hour weekend shift differential

Position Overview

As a Substitute Direct Support Professional (DSP) in our Residential Services program, you will provide essential support to individuals living in a group home setting on an as-needed basis.

Substitute DSPs play a vital role in ensuring continuity of care by covering open shifts, callouts, vacations, and staffing needs especially during afternoons, evenings, overnights, and weekends.

Your role includes assisting with:

  • Personal care and daily routines
  • Meal preparation and household tasks
  • Medication administration (after certification)
  • Supporting individuals in community outings and activities
  • Creating a safe, respectful, and home-like environment

You'll help individuals build life skills, maintain independence, and engage meaningfully in their homes and communities.

This is a per diem (substitute) position ideal for individuals seeking flexible scheduling.

Shifts may include:

  • Afternoon/Evening shifts (2:00 PM 10:00 PM or 3:00 PM 11:00 PM)
  • Overnight shifts
  • Weekend day or evening shifts
  • Extended weekend shifts

Substitutes can pick up shifts based on availability and program needs. Weekend and evening availability is strongly preferred.

If you've worked as a PCA (Patient Care Assistant), CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), or HHA (Home Health Aide), you'll find your skills highly valued in our Direct Support Professional (DSP) positions.

Requirements

  • High School Diploma or GED (TASC) preferred.
  • Exceptional communication and computer skills.
  • Valid driver's license.
  • Ability to be certified in all required trainings.
  • Occasionally required to lift up to 50 pounds.
  • One-year experience working with people with disabilities (preferred).
