Virtual Hiring Event - Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) / Caregivers - August 20th, 2026
More Than Caregiving
Our Day Program DSPs do much more than provide traditional caregiving support. They coach, teach, mentor, and engage adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout the day.
You may lead activities involving art, music, games, cooking, reading, life skills, community outings, volunteering, and other enrichment opportunities. The goal is to help each person build skills, increase independence, participate in their community, and have meaningful experiences.
You will also provide hands-on personal care, behavioral support, and assistance based on each individual's needs.
What You'll Do
- Coach and mentor adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Lead activities, workshops, and life enrichment opportunities
- Teach daily living skills such as cooking, money management, communication, and community participation
- Encourage independence, choice, confidence, and active participation
- Lead community outings and volunteering opportunities
- Provide personal care and hygiene assistance
- Support individuals who may experience challenging behaviors
- Use positive behavioral support and redirection techniques
- Assist with lifting and transfers when needed
- Complete accurate daily electronic documentation
- Help with cooking, cleaning, and preparing program spaces
- Work closely with your team to maintain a positive, safe, and engaging environment
Who We're Looking For
This is an active, hands-on position, and we are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with and engaging others.
To be considered, you must have:
- 6+ months of experience working with individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities
- High school diploma or GED
- Valid driver's license and ability to drive a company van
- Ability to work Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
