WHY WORK FOR US

  • PASSION

    Are you tired of just clocking in and clocking out of a job? Do you wish you could have a job that you could be passionate about? Imagine waking up and being excited to go to work! When you are a DSP, it becomes more than just a job, it becomes a passion.

  • CHALLENGE

    We have all had that feeling of accomplishment when we are working toward a goal and finally reach it. When you become a DSP, you are taking on a rewarding challenge that will help you grow as a person. When you help a person walk for the first time, or help them learn something new, you will be reminded why this job is so special.

  • PURPOSE

    Working 40+ hours a week is a large commitment of the most valuable resource on the planet: time. If you are looking for a way to use your time to make a difference in a meaningful way, being a direct support professional is it. Not a moment is wasted working in direct support and sometimes simply showing up with a positive attitude and warm smile can make a HUGE difference in someone’s life.

WHAT DOES A DSP DO?

DAILY LIVING

A DSP provides the basic needs needed for any person to live a fulfilling life. This can look like teaching a person how to brush their teeth, helping them in and out of their wheelchair, taking care of the hygiene needs, cooking meals, and more. When you provide this type of care, you are providing a life that the person would not be able to live without your support.

COMMUNITY INTEGRATION

We all want to be part of our communities. A DSP provides an opportunity for individuals to have access to their communities. Many individuals with DD cannot drive or transport themselves. You are the catalyst to connect them to the world. This looks like going out to dinner, going shopping, volunteering with them, going bowling, and just living life with them!

MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION

Many individuals with Developmental Disabilities rely on medication in order to live a quality life, and in some cases, they are life-saving medications. A DSP is trained and certified to pass medications to individuals so that they can live a happy, healthy life. Don’t worry, we give you all the tools and training that you need!

ADVOCACY

At The Society, we want to be a voice for those who cannot speak up for themselves, but we also want to give a voice to those who can! As a DSP, you are an advocate for people with developmental disabilities.

FRIENDSHIP

When you become a DSP, you are starting the journey of creating brand new friendships that will impact you for the rest of your life. You will quickly learn that this job is more than just a job. It becomes part of your life and the people you support become more than just “clients” that you serve.

HAVE FUN!

What other job do you get to have the opportunity to just live life and have fun with others? There is so much joy in the developmental disabilities field, and you GET to be part of it! We have had DSPs go on vacation with individuals, go to camp, travel, go to shows, and more!
