Job description

Are you looking for a career where your work truly changes lives? We are seeking a compassionate, dedicated Direct Care Professional to join our team and empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to reach their full potential.

Why You’ll Love This Role

In this position, you aren’t just "doing a job"—you are an advocate, a supporter, and a vital part of a team that creates meaningful progress. You will help individuals build essential life skills, foster independence, and ensure their human rights are upheld every single day.

What You’ll Do

  • Empowerment: Implement Individual Service Plans (ISPs), helping individuals achieve personal goals in habilitative, behavioral, and recreational areas.

  • Support & Advocacy: Assist with activities of daily living (like hygiene, budgeting, and meal prep) and ensure the voices and needs of those we serve are heard.

  • Community Engagement: Accompany individuals to appointments, work, and recreational activities, helping them stay connected to their community.

  • Team Collaboration: Work closely with our Site Manager and your fellow team members to create a safe, supportive, and efficient environment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Heart & Passion: A genuine interest in working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

  • Character: A demonstrated ability to maintain respectful, ethical, and empowering relationships.

  • Physical Capacity: The ability to assist and lift individuals with physical disabilities or limited mobility.

  • Reliability: Strong communication skills (written/oral) and a track record of taking responsibility for assigned tasks.

  • Certification: CPR and First Aid Certification (at hire for DDS sites, or within 30 days for others).

  • Preferred: Previous experience or education related to developmental disabilities is a plus!

Ready to Apply?

If you are ready to bring your energy and compassion to a role that matters, we want to hear from you. Help us build a more inclusive, supportive community for everyone.

Join our team today and turn your passion into a purposeful career.
