Job description

Direct Support Professional (DSP) Your Overnight Ends in the Morning. Voici $20.00/hr for the Hours Before Your Next One. Location: Kensington, CT Schedule: Monday–Friday, 3:00 PM–7:00 PM Pay: $20.00/hr Service Type: Per Diem / Part-Time

Reasons to Join Arbor Built around your overnight schedule — if you're finishing a shift in the early morning, sleeping through midday, and back on overnight later, the 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM window fills your afternoon without cutting into your rest or your next shift. $20.00/hr for four focused hours — this is a 1:1 role with one client, one setting, and a clear out time every day. No overtime creep, no ambiguous end time, done at 7:00 PM. One client, every day — you'll build a real working relationship with the person you support. If your overnight role is high-volume and reactive, your afternoon here is the opposite: consistent, relationship-centered, and calm. Engagement and connection are the work — you'll spend this time actively interacting with your client, not just monitoring. If you're someone who brings patience and genuine presence to the people you support, this role will feel natural.

Medical, dental, vision, STD/LTD/AD&D, and sick time available for qualifying employees. W-2 employment with Arbor from day one — stable paycheck, no 1099 paperwork stacked on top of what you're already managing. DSP | HHA | CNA | Caregiver | PCA — overnight healthcare or residential direct care background? The skills you use every night translate directly into this role.
