Job Description

Direct Support Professional (DSP) - Per Diem

Westborough/Marlborough, MA area | Days, Evenings & Overnights

You already know how to care. Put it to work on your schedule.

If you've worked as a caregiver, home health aide, CNA, or personal care attendant, or you just have a gift for looking after people, this one is for you.

Arbor Associates is hiring per diem caregivers to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in residential homes across the Westborough/Marlborough area. You'll help people get through their day with dignity, from morning routines to community outings to a quiet overnight, and help them build independence along the way.

Pick up shifts when it works for you. Hours aren't guaranteed and vary week to week, so this fits best alongside school, family, or another job.

What you'll do

• Provide hands-on personal care, including bathing, toileting, feeding, and hygiene
• Prepare meals and support daily routines
• Encourage choice, independence, and community participation
• Follow individualized support plans and keep the home safe and respectful
• Document your shift and report changes or concerns
• Accompany or transport individuals on community outings when needed

Job Requirements

What we're looking for

• Comfort with personal care (bathing, toileting, feeding)
• Weekend availability
• Ability to take shifts on short notice when possible
• Willingness to travel up to 30 minutes between homes
• Dependability, strong communication, and the ability to adapt to different settings
• Ability to pass required background checks
• Preferred: 6+ months of experience in caregiving, direct support, or human services

Not CPI or Safety-Care certified? We'll pay you to get it.

If you hold a current CPI or Safety-Care certification, you're ready to go. If not, you'll attend a paid three-day weekday CPI training in Southborough, MA before working independently.

Why caregivers choose Arbor

• $20/hour, paid weekly
• You choose your shifts: 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, around your life
• Variety: Work in different homes and build your experience
• Real people behind you: A supportive staffing team
