About the Role

This position offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As a Direct Support Professional, you will be the bridge between independence and support, helping individuals navigate their daily lives with dignity and respect. Your day will involve more than just completing tasks; it will be about building trust, fostering socialization, and encouraging personal growth.

You will work within a residential setting or periodic program, supporting a small group of individuals. Your role is dynamic, ranging from assisting with personal care and medication administration to accompanying individuals on community outings, shopping, and recreational activities. Whether you are preparing a meal according to specific dietary needs, managing household maintenance, or simply sharing a conversation that brightens someone's day, your presence is vital to their well-being. This role is designed for those who find purpose in service and are eager to grow alongside the people they support.
