Asleep Overnight Direct Support Professional

Lake Lillian, MN, US

4 days ago Requisition ID: 2079

This is a crisis group home which is a short‑term, highly supportive residential setting designed for children, teens, or adults who are experiencing an emotional, behavioral, or other crisis. The goal is stabilization — not long‑term placement — so the person can return home or move to a more appropriate setting once the individual has stabilized and a plan is in place. The individuals we support in this setting are often highly behavioral, may be violent at times, display verbal aggression, and may elope. It is imperative that employees follow our training, policies, and care plans to support individuals with these unique needs.

Make a Difference Every Day

As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health needs, and physical disabilities. DSPs provide the support, encouragement, and guidance individuals need to live fulfilling lives, build independence, and participate in their communities.

This is more than just a job — it is a chance to build relationships, create positive experiences, and know that the work you do matters every single day.

What Does a Direct Support Professional Do?

• Providing transportation to appointments, activities, and community outings.
• Documenting services, activities, and important events using an online documentation system.

Asleep Overnight DSP Expectations

• Travel regularly within the community.
• Support individuals both indoors and outdoors.
• Assist with physical activities such as walking, bending, reaching, lifting, and moving throughout the workday.
• Work in environments where individuals may experience emotional distress, behavioral challenges, or crisis situations.
