Job Description

Direct Support Professional

$18.50/hour.

We are looking for dedicated and caring people to work with adult aged individuals with developmental/intellectual disabilities. If you are passionate about helping others and making a positive impact in the world, we encourage you to apply today!

About our Company :

STAR, Inc., is a non-profit located in Norwalk, CT that provides support services to individuals of all ages with developmental/intellectual disabilities and their families for over 70 years. This takes many different forms but all with the same goal of improving the lives of those we serve. We help the individuals we support become the fullest versions of themselves through the values of inclusion, independence, and freedom of choice.

A Day in the Life of a Direct Support Professional:

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are essential to lives of the adults we serve. Whether it is assisting them in preparing dinner in one of our group homes, or aiding them in a dance class in the community, DSPs help our individuals live full and meaningful lives!

A DSP could work in either one of our group homes where they would support our individuals strive for greater independence or in one of our day programs helping them engage with activities that are meaningful to them. Our staff also assist with feeding and personal needs of our participants when needed. Our DSPs help teach our individuals valuable life skills and reach greater levels of independence. Not sure which setting is right for you? That's fine! Our interview process works to find the best fit for each applicant selected to set them and the people they serve up for success.

Qualifications for the Job:

  • High School Diploma or its equivalent
  • A valid driver's license
  • Compassion and ability to see the potential in everyone
  • Positivity and a team-player attitude

Are you ready to Join Our Team?

If you would like to be part of a caring and driven team. APPLY TODAY! Quick 5-minute application process.

STAR, Inc., is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
