Job description

Join Our Team as a Direct Support Professional!

Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact in the lives of others? Do you want to be part of a supportive team that helps individuals with developmental disabilities thrive in their daily lives? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

Position: Direct Support Professional (DSP) Female 1:1

Location: Little Rock, AR

Schedule: Saturday & Sunday 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM

Starting Pay: $14:00 per hour (negotiable based on education and experience)

Why Join Us? At AEDD, we believe in empowering individuals with disabilities to improve the quality of their lives.

What You'll Do:

  • Support individuals in developing essential life skills, from health and hygiene to independent living tasks.
  • Foster a positive and respectful environment at home and in the community.
  • Assist with daily routines as outlined in the Medicaid Waiver Person-Centered Service Plan.
  • Help individuals engage with their community through activities like shopping, social events, appointments, and more.
  • Provide safe and reliable transportation using your personal vehicle (must meet AR state insurance requirements).
  • Maintain records of consumer expenses and document progress.
  • Offer valuable input during annual service planning meetings.
  • Complete required training, including CPR, First Aid, Defensive Driving, and in-service sessions.
  • Submit weekly documentation and timesheets on time.

What We're Looking For:

  • Age Requirement: 18 years or older.
  • Education & Experience: High School Diploma or GED with at least one year of relevant experience in public health, human services, or a community service agency. Alternatively, two years of verifiable experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities may qualify.
  • Driver's License & Insurance: Valid Arkansas driver's license and proof of auto liability insurance.
  • Background Check & Drug Screening: Required for all candidates.
  • Communication Skills: Ability to effectively interact with individuals and understand written instructions.

Why This Role Matters:

This is a safety-sensitive position, meaning your role directly affects the well-being of the individuals you support. We are committed to maintaining a safe, drug-free workplace to ensure the highest quality of care.

Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to stand, walk, reach, and kneel as needed.
  • Lift and move up to 25 lbs regularly, 50 lbs frequently, and 100 lbs occasionally.
  • Drive in various weather conditions to transport individuals safely.

Work Environment:

You'll be working in a dynamic group home setting and traveling within the community. The noise level is moderate, and reasonable accommodations can be made to support individuals with disabilities.


Join Us & Make a Difference!

If you're ready to bring joy, encouragement, and support to those who need it most, we'd love to have you on our team. Apply today and start your journey with AEDD!
