Soundview Supported Living is looking to add a few DSPs (Direct Support Professionals) to our team.
DSPs are often asked for a wide range of skills, and each one brings their own balance of skills to the job:
- Caregiver
- Mentor
- Instructor
- Advocate
- Activity Coordinator
The job is different for every client you support, and the above is an incomplete list!
Sound like a lot? It just comes down to seeing your clients grow or gain a new ability to appreciate life, and it’s easy when the desire to help others is what drives you.
Sometimes help means doing something for someone. Sometimes it means stepping back and letting them struggle. Often, it’s somewhere between those two and giving the right support is what makes you a Direct Support Professional.
If you have read this far and you are wondering if you could do this, here are the requirements:
- High School Diploma or GED
- Eligible to work and 18 or older
- No disqualifying convictions
- Driver’s license
- Can respond to occasional physical demands of the job including lifting or running
- Must be fully vaccinated for Covid-19
- A commitment to be there for the people that need you.
You will get thorough training that applies to all DSPs, but you will also get the special training that can only be found here, with us.
We are officially paying a starting wage of $16.75 an hour, but all our staff have been receiving very substantial Covid-19 bonuses since mid-2020.
