Job description

Caregiver / Direct Support Professional (DSP)

Behavioral Support Experience Required

$19.67 - $23.00 per Hour + Full Benefits

East County San Diego | Flexible Schedules Available

Are you an experienced caregiver who is patient, compassionate, and confident supporting individuals with behavioral challenges?

Home of Guiding Hands is seeking dedicated Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to support adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities in residential homes throughout East County. If you're looking for meaningful work where you can make a real difference every day, we'd love to meet you.

These homes support individuals who may exhibit significant behavioral challenges. We are specifically seeking candidates with at least six months of paid experience providing behavioral support, implementing behavior plans, using de-escalation techniques, and working with individuals who display challenging behaviors.

This is not an entry-level caregiving position.

Why Candidates Love These Schedules

We offer a variety of schedules that can work well for:

  • Parents with school-aged children
  • Students attending classes during the day
  • Individuals looking for weekdays off
  • People who prefer longer shifts and fewer workdays
  • Candidates seeking consistent part-time schedules
  • Caregivers looking to supplement another job

Available schedules may include:

  • Early morning shifts
  • Afternoon and evening shifts
  • Split shifts
  • Weekend-focused schedules
  • Four-day workweeks
  • Part-time and full-time opportunities

Many of our openings include multiple days off during the week, making them a great fit for candidates who want flexibility outside of a traditional Monday-Friday schedule.

What We Offer

  • $19.67 - $23.00 per hour, depending on experience
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Paid holidays and sick time
  • Paid training
  • Supportive and encouraging leadership team
  • Career growth and advancement opportunities
  • Stable schedules with a mission-driven organization

What You'll Do

  • Support adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities in a residential setting
  • Assist with daily living activities and personal care as needed
  • Implement behavior support plans and intervention strategies
  • Provide coaching, redirection, and emotional support
  • Encourage independence and community participation
  • Complete required documentation and communicate with team members
  • Help create a safe, respectful, and positive home environment

Qualifications

  • Minimum six months of paid experience supporting individuals with behavioral challenges
  • Experience working with individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities strongly preferred
  • Ability to remain calm and professional during escalated situations
  • Strong communication and documentation skills
  • Patience, empathy, and a commitment to treating every individual with dignity and respect
  • Ability to pass background screening and pre-employment requirements

If you have experience supporting individuals with behavioral needs and are looking for a company where your work truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and join a team committed to helping individuals live their best lives!
