About the Role
As a Direct Support Professional, you will be the cornerstone of an individual's daily life, providing the support needed to thrive in a residential or periodic program setting. Typically supporting 4 to 6 individuals in residential settings (or up to 10 in periodic programs), your role is to facilitate socialization, health maintenance, and skill development according to each person's unique service plan.
Your day-to-day involves more than just tasks; it is about partnership. You will assist with activities of daily living such as personal care, housekeeping, and transportation, while also empowering individuals to exercise their rights and make choices about their lives. Whether accompanying someone to a medical appointment, preparing meals according to specific dietary needs, or managing household safety, you will ensure a supportive, safe, and enriching environment. You will also maintain accurate records, manage individual assets responsibly, and foster healthy relationships with families, guardians, and case managers.
