We seek a qualified Direct Support Professional to join our compassionate and reliable care team. Hours vary from 12 to 30 a week. This person will play an important role in maintaining a consistent, safe and high quality life for our client.

The pay scale is set by these agencies and ranges from $18/hr to $26/hr. Mileage reimbursement is available for transportation services. The role is to support the client's independence for activities of daily living (cooking, budgeting, household chores) and to model appropriate social skills and provide companionship.

If you are reliable, kind-hearted, have safe transportation and are looking for a rewarding position where your skills as a supportive caregiver are valued, we want to hear from you.
