What is a Direct Support Professional (DSP)?
A mentor who supports adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD) in their home or at activities in the community. This role is great for people who enjoy helping adults grow, learn, and build confidence in the community. Because our participants love getting out and exploring, this position works best for someone who can drive and has access to a reliable car.
If you’ve supported an adult, child, sibling, or loved one with daily routines, communication, or personal care — your experience is incredibly valuable here. If you’re exploring psychology, education, ABA, social work, or human services, this role provides strong hands‑on experience.
We provide in person and virtual training, clear expectations, and ongoing coaching so you always feel prepared.
Typical Responsibilities

Maintaining support for a minimum of 2 participants
Engaging in fun, structured community activities (parks, library, YMCA, outings) (mileage reimbursement provided)
Helping build independence and confidence
Following clear behavior‑support strategies and safety plans
Providing support in a one to one or small group setting depending on the service
Requirements

Want to make a meaningful impact in a person's life — and grow your skills along the way.
Driver’s license + reliable transportation - our participants love getting out into the community
Comfortable supporting people with intellectual/developmental disabilities and providing basic personal care (i.e. toileting) depending on individual needs
Strong communication, patience, and follow‑through
Experience in caregiving, childcare, or supporting a loved one is a plus
Willing to travel 30 minutes to a participant's home
Part‑Time → Full‑Time Pathway Available

You’ll start part‑time while building your caseload. If you want full‑time hours, you can transition to 30 hours/week once matched with additional youth. Most staff reach full‑time within 60 days but staying part‑time is also an option.
???? Hopes Promise Respite - Caring Is Our Calling

We exist to improve and promote independence throughout every life stage - not through pressure or perfection, but through quality, compassion and human connection.
