Direct Support Professionals (DSPs)
Skilled, compassionate care for people with disabilities.
DSPs help people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities to access services they need to thrive in the community. The roles and responsibilities of DSPs are varied. On any given day, they can solve problems, administer medication, provide treatment, teach new skills, and even perform behavioral assessments and crisis interventions. Most importantly, they are caretakers, support systems, and friends.
Reach your full potential, while helping others reach theirs.
For all that DSPs give to others, they get just as much back. The roles offer fulfillment, skill expression, growth, and career advancement, plus the chance to be part of something larger. To make a true difference in the community and in the life of another. It takes a special kind of person to be a DSP. Check out DSP job opportunities below - and be a part of the WE.
