Full Job Description

Work 3 Days - Make a Difference - More Time for Life

What This Role Is Really About

As a Direct Support Professional, you’ll support adults with disabilities to live as independently as possible, while treating every person with dignity, respect, and choice. This is hands-on, active work for people who enjoy movement, problem-solving, teamwork, and meaningful human connection.

You will:

Support individuals with their daily lives — not do things for them
Follow Individual Service Plans (ISP) and help people reach personal goals
Encourage independence through skill-building and everyday teaching moments
Assist with personal care (meals, hygiene, positioning, transfers)
Support community involvement, recreation, work activities, and transportation
Provide medication support (as trained and authorized)
Attend medical appointments and communicate changes to the care team
Respond calmly and confidently during emergencies
Maintain accurate documentation and reports
Create a safe, positive, respectful environment every shift

The 3-Day Work Week

Our fixed 12-hour shift model gives you predictability and balance:

Schedule Options

Front-Half: Sunday– Tuesday
Back-Half: Thursday– Saturday

Shift Times Start for Day Hours between 7AM-9AM and end at 7PM-9PM.

You’ll work about 12 days per month
Fixed schedules — same days, same locations, same people
Premium pay for weekend shifts (Saturday & Sunday)

This model lets you build strong relationships with the people you support without burnout.

This Is a Physically Active Role

This job is ideal for someone who likes to stay moving and can handle physical demands safely and professionally.

You must be able to:

Stand, walk, move, and remain active for extended periods
Kneel on one knee or two and stand back up unassisted
Transition smoothly between standing, kneeling, squatting, and bending
Push, pull, and lift up to 50 lbs. using proper body mechanics
Assist with transfers and positioning as needed
Perform repetitive hand, wrist, and arm movements
React quickly and safely in dynamic situations
Use PPE when required (gloves, masks, gowns, etc.)

You’ll work both indoors and outdoors in active environments — no desk-bound days here.

Skills That Matter

Compassionate, patient, and respectful

Comfortable following plans, routines, and safety procedures

Strong communicators (written and verbal)

Team-oriented but able to work independently

Willing to learn and complete required training

Reliable, punctual, and accountable

Requirements

Education and Experience

High school diploma or GED equivalency is required. Must be 18 years of age or older. Valid driver’s license with clean driving record. May require training/testing to drive accessible vehicle. Prior experience working with children or adults with disabilities or challenging behaviors preferred. Successful completion and certification in training provided by agency within specific time allotment required. All positions require a clear background check and drug screen upon conditional offer.
