Direct Support Professional (DSP)

Looking to Make a Real Difference in Someone’s Life, and Get Paid for It?

Thrive Community Support Services (Thrive CSS) is looking for compassionate, reliable people who want work that truly matters.

As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you’ll support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their homes and communities, helping them build independence, confidence, and meaningful daily lives.

If you’ve ever helped a loved one, supported someone in your community, or simply feel called to make a difference, this could be the right fit for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Support daily routines like meal prep, personal care, and household tasks

• Encourage independence, confidence, and self-advocacy

• Assist with community activities, employment, and social engagement

• Follow individualized support plans and health/behavioral strategies

• Ensure safety, dignity, and respect at all times

• Communicate with supervisors and complete basic documentation

Who We’re Looking For

• Kind, dependable, and patient individuals who genuinely care.

• High school diploma or GED required.

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required.

• Required to pass PA background clearances.

• Comfortable working independently while part of a team

• Experience is a plus—but not required (we provide training)

Many great DSPs come from backgrounds in caregiving, education, healthcare, or simply from having a big heart.

Schedule

• Flexible scheduling (day, evening, and weekend shifts)

• Part-time and full-time opportunities available

Why Thrive CSS?

• Mission-driven, people-first agency

• Supportive leadership and ongoing training

• Flexible schedules that fit real life

• Work that feels meaningful, not just a paycheck

Join a team that truly thrives in supporting others.
