Weekend On-call Specialist - Direct Support Professional

Open 45d posting dated 4 days ago

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

About Training:

We know this job requires a wide skillset and familiarity with different individuals’ needs. That’s why we offer:

  • Orientation and tailored in-home training
  • A training wage of $21/hr as you learn to support different individuals confidently
  • A training schedule paced to match your experience and learning style

More details about training will be shared if you’re selected for a phone interview.
