Work that actually means something starts here.

Looking for meaningful work with a schedule that fits your life? As a PRN Direct Support Professional (DSP), you’ll have the flexibility to pick up shifts when you’re available while making a real impact in the lives of others.

You’ll support individuals with developmental disabilities, behavioral challenges, and complex needs in a home and community setting. Your role will help individuals build independence, develop daily living skills, and stay connected to the people and activities that matter most.

This is hands-on, rewarding work where your time and support can truly change someone’s day.

What You'll Do

This role is about more than providing support. It’s about building relationships and helping people live their best lives.

• Build meaningful, respectful relationships with the individuals you support
• Assist with daily living skills like hygiene, meals, and routines
• Support goals such as budgeting, communication, exercise, and nutrition
• Encourage participation in community activities and daily engagement
• Provide calm, consistent support for individuals with behavioral needs
• Help maintain a safe, positive, and respectful home environment
• Work closely with your team to support each person’s goals

Why PRN?

PRN is a great option if you want flexibility without a set weekly schedule.

• Pick up shifts based on your availability
  
• Great for those balancing school, family, another job, or other commitments
  
• Make a difference while maintaining control of your schedule
  
• Gain valuable experience in healthcare and human services

What We Offer: 

• Pay: $17.50/hour
• Pay on Demand: Access your earnings when you need them
• Employee Referral Program
• Job Stability: Work with a growing, established national organization
• Training & Development: Paid onboarding and ongoing learning opportunities
• Supportive Leadership: Supervisors who understand the work and support you in it

Who Thrives in This Role

You don't need a healthcare background to be great at this job. You just need the right mindset.

We’re looking for people who are:

• Compassionate, patient, and dependable
• Comfortable working with individuals with behavioral or complex needs
• Good communicators and team players
• Flexible and able to adapt in real time
• Responsible, reliable, and consistent

What You'll Need:

• High School Diploma or GED 
• Valid driver's license (held for at least one year)
• Access to a registered, insured vehicle
• Ability to support individuals in home and community settings 

Experience in caregiving, healthcare, CNA work, behavioral health, or human services is helpful but not required. We provide training and support so you can succeed.

Why This Work Matters

Every shift is an opportunity to help someone gain confidence, build independence, and experience life more fully.

With PRN flexibility, you choose when you work while doing work that truly matters.

Apply today and start making a difference on your schedule.
