Weekend On-call Specialist - Direct Support Professional
Weekend On Call DSP Opportunity
Pay: $150/weekend + $25–$27/hr | Training wage: $21/hr
Schedule: On-call 2 weekends per month
Are you a skilled, compassionate Direct Support Professional (DSP) who loves the work but can’t commit to a full-time schedule? Looking to supplement your income without sacrificing all your free time?
Role Highlights:
- $150 guaranteed for being available to work when called, even if you aren’t called in.
- Earn up to $25–$27/hour
- Flexible commitment: Two weekends a month, required.
- Variety and connection: Support multiple amazing individuals living independently across the Portland Metro area.
What You’ll Do:
As the Weekend On-call Specialist, you’ll step in when other DSPs are unavailable—whether it’s a quick errand, an urgent need, or covering a full shift. You’ll work 1:1 with adults with developmental disabilities, helping them live meaningful, self-directed lives. You’ll be the calm, capable presence they need, and you’ll be backed by a Weekend Manager, who fields all incoming requests and reaches out to you when your help is needed.
You're a great fit if you are:
- Experienced in supporting adults with developmental disabilities
- Reliable, adaptable, and calm under pressure
- Personable and able to quickly build rapport with a variety of individuals
- Able to drive and transport throughout the Portland Metro area
