We are seeking Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to join our team and provide support to four very active male individuals diagnosed with intellectual disabilities in their Scarbrough home and in the greater community. This setting requires the right candidate to have exceptional skills in areas such as multitasking, strong communication with team members, and the ability to adapt to changing priorities.

Preferred skills may include, but are not limited to:

• Supporting individuals with a variety of medical needs
• Organizing and supporting community membership and participation

• Time management and adaptability

Various opportunities are available including full and part-time, double shifts, weekends, and weekdays.

Some of the support tasks you can expect to assist with include ambulation (walker or wheelchair), meal preparation and feeding, housekeeping, bathroom and hygiene needs, maintaining comprehensive daily documentation, and creating opportunities for meaningful community integration.


Experience with medication passing and full personal care are preferred. An active CPR, CRMA, and DSP certificate are preferred, but we will train the right candidate. If you are a kind, patient, and compassionate person who wants to have some fun, laugh a lot, and be a little silly while at work, we would like to meet you!
