Job Description

As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you will provide person-centered support to individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) in their home and in the community.

• Complete accurate and timely documentation (within 24 hours) of services provided and client progress.
• Maintain and promote the rights, dignity, and choices of each individual served.
• Assist with administrative tasks (e.g. completing reports, preparing documents) as needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Passionate about empowering individuals with disabilities
• Responsible and able to manage time effectively across multiple client sites
• Strong communicators—both verbally and in writing
• Flexible and adaptable to a rotating, community-based schedule
• Tech-savvy and comfortable using a smartphone, tablet, or laptop for documentation

Minimum Qualifications

• Age 18 or older
• High school diploma or GED
• CPR (required)
• At least 1 year of experience supporting individuals with developmental disabilities (volunteer work, internships, or care giving roles)
• Valid Ohio driver’s license, active auto insurance, and reliable transportation
• Clean criminal background and drug-free lifestyle
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Availability for rotating shifts, including evenings and weekends

What You’ll Need

• Your own smartphone, laptop, or tablet for documentation
• A willingness to drive within Cuyahoga County
• A collaborative mindset and a passion for inclusive support

Preferred Qualities

• Interest in a future career in social work, education, vocational rehab, or psychology
• Experience in community employment, coaching, or peer support
• Familiarity with person-centered planning or trauma informed care

Compensation & Schedule

• Part-Time or Per Diem (10–20 hours/week): $13/hour - $19/hour
• Mileage reimbursement for personal vehicle use
• Flexible scheduling, based on clients needs
