Are you looking for work that actually matters?
As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you’ll help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities live more independently, participate in their communities, build new skills, and have greater control over their own lives.
Experience is welcome—but the right attitude matters even more. If you are dependable, patient, respectful, and genuinely enjoy helping people succeed, we can teach you the rest.

- Paid Time Off (PTO)
- Ongoing training and professional development
- Opportunities to learn about assistive technology and technology-enabled independence

What You'll Do
Every person we support is different, so every day may look a little different. Depending on the individual, you may:
- Help someone learn or maintain independent living skills
- Assist with cooking, cleaning, shopping, and household routines
