On-Call Direct Support Professional (DSP)

Vancouver, WA

Shifts Available: All Shifts Available - Day, Swing, and Grave!

Pay Range: Starting at $22/hour DOE and additional qualifications.

About us:

AKI provides trauma-informed and culturally responsive residential treatment services for youth with behavioral health conditions to successfully transition into their homes and communities.

Job Summary:

Our long-term BRS (Behavioral Rehabilitation Services) group home is seeking Direct Support Professionals to join our dedicated team! Our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) provide mentorship, emotional support, personal attention, and structured daily routines and living experiences to female-identified adolescents (ages 13-18) in a home like residential facility. They attend public school, community activities, and participate in independent living readiness. Our milieu staff play an integral role in ensuring a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment.

Our DSPs provide a safe and nurturing space by:

Providing supervision, coaching, emotional support, and skill building education one-on-one and in groups
Providing transportation to youth to attend scheduled appointments
Assembling and serving nutritious meals
Actively monitoring youth to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants
Planning enrichment and recreation activities, facilitating group and individual learning experiences, assisting with school-work and extra-curricular activities, and maintaining a supportive and structured environment for youth

Ideal candidates will be supportive and flexible, as well as culturally sensitive and trauma informed. They communicate effectively, verbally and in writing, with both adolescents in the program and other team members.

Must be comfortable working in a regulated environment, and work within the parameters of program licensing guidelines. Must have the ability to react promptly, empathetically, and appropriately to the potential challenges involved working in a residential facility.

At A+K Ingenuity we strive to create a positive team-based work environment. Our model utilizes a person-centered, trauma-informed, wrap-around approach. We work together to best serve the needs of the youth in care and are strong believers that everyone is a valuable member of the team and adds to the growth of the program.

Values:

Our THRIVE values best describe how we do this work:

● Tenacity

This means we are don’t give up on the youth we work with. We get to know their strengths and barriers and are unconditional and unyielding in our care despite setbacks.

● Health (relationships, bodies, futures and fun)

The four basic pillars of an effective human life are healthy relationships with our selves, families and peers; physically healthy bodies and minds; a belief and active pursuit of a future of contribution and possibility; and engagement in healthy hobbies and recreation. A+K Ingenuity’s program philosophy and practices are anchored on these four pillars.

● Relentless commitment to quality and transparency

We understand that high quality programming and practices require a reflective commitment to achieving outcomes. Transparency with our youth, families and care team partners allow us to monitor progress, refine approaches, and continually identify areas where we can improve.

● Innovation

Solutions to the complexities of trauma and its manifestations in the youth and families we serve require a steadfast attunement to current and evolving best-practices. Through a culture of continuous learning and active participation with our partner agencies, we pursue and implement innovative practices.

● Visionary advocacy

We advocate on behalf of youth in our care to receive the supports and services in their schools, families, and communities they need to thrive. This also entails advocating on behalf of systems improvements that address barriers and advance opportunities.

● Equity and inclusion

Respect and value of all people; clients, families, partners, and employees, is central to advancing our mission and vision. We ensure all youth and families cultures, beliefs, values and preferences are reflected in every aspect of their treatment.
