Direct Support Professional -- Make a Real Impact Every Day

Pearls Unlimited Inc

Job Description

Job Description

Make a Meaningful Difference—Every Shift

Are you someone who genuinely enjoys helping others grow, learn, and experience life?

At Pearls Unlimited Inc. , we provide a supportive home for adults with developmental disabilities where residents are encouraged to live independently, express themselves, and enjoy everyday life—from cooking meals and doing crafts to exploring the community.

We’re looking for caregivers who are patient, dependable, and actively engaged —people who don’t just show up, but truly care .

Why Join Pearls Unlimited?

  • Purpose-driven work that impacts lives daily 
  • A positive, engaging environment (crafts, outings, activities) 
  • Holiday pay 
  • ️ Paid sick time off 
  • Ongoing training and development 
  • Supportive team culture 

What You’ll Do

  • Assist residents with daily living skills (cooking, hygiene, routines) 
  • Provide hands-on support using positive behavior techniques
  • Plan and participate in fun activities like crafts, games, and outings 
  • Transport residents to appointments and community activities 
  • Administer medications and document daily progress 
  • Maintain a safe, structured, and respectful home environment 

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities (preferred)
  • Knowledge of behavior modification techniques (required)
  • A compassionate, patient, and reliable personality 
  • Ability to stay calm and supportive in challenging situations 
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills 

Requirements

  • Must be 18 years or older 
  • High school diploma or equivalent 
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record 
  • Reliable, insured vehicle (for transporting residents) 
  • Ability to pass fingerprint clearance, background check, and drug screening 
  • Availability for flexible shifts (including weekends) 

Who This Role Is Perfect For

✔ Caregivers who enjoy being active and engaged
✔ People passionate about helping others live independently
✔ Those experienced with behavioral support and structure

Who This Role Is NOT For

✖ Those looking for a passive or low-effort job
✖ Individuals uncomfortable with behavioral challenges
✖ People who prefer working alone without interaction

Apply Today

If you’re ready to be part of a team that values compassion, consistency, and real impact—we’d love to meet you.

Submit your application now to join the Pearls Unlimited team.
