Fun and charismatic 21-year-old man is looking for a responsible, reliable, and friendly Direct Support Professional. Roles and responsibilities require an applicant to be comfortable with providing personal care while maintaining dignity and respect, academic and work support, technological support, and work with a team approach in mind. This young man is currently completing college courses, a huge sports fan, and working in film production. This is a rewarding job within a close-knit, busy family that wants to help their son, who experiences physical mobility and health challenges, have the engaging life and academic and social success that he desires.
This young man needs support on all activities of daily living (in the bathroom, showering, etc.) and the job is at times physically demanding. A college degree (or working towards a degree) is an important qualification, and CPR/ first aid certified, LNA/CNA background is also a plus. Other daily responsibilities include supporting this young man’s active social and recreational life in the community, and academic/employment support. Social support involves spending time with friends, grabbing lunch, and going on adventures to keep things exciting! It’s a bonus if you enjoy music and sports, especially the Patriots, Red Sox, and NASCAR.
Starting rate of pay is $22-24 per hour depending on experience and medical/academic background. This position includes health benefits, paid time off, and other benefits. The position is currently designed as 30-35 total hours per week over four consecutive days (which will include at least one weekend day).
Clean criminal and driving records a must! Accessible vehicle is provided by the family during support hours.
Candidates must be fully vaccinated against COVID 19 and commit to annual flu shots. You may also be requested to wear a mask during working hours.
Position begins immediately once the candidate is selected, and resumes are being accepted now until the position is filled (but the sooner the better).
