Job description

Job Title: l Direct Support Professional

Location: Winston Salem NC

Your Life is Busy. Your Work Should Fit into It.

Are you looking for work that matters but struggles to fit a traditional "9-to-5" into your schedule? At Abound Health, we believe that supporting others shouldn't mean sacrificing your own balance.

We are currently seeking compassionate individuals for Direct Support Professional (DSP) roles. Whether you have 10 hours a month or 20 hours a week, we have a place for you.

Who Fits Here?

We are looking for heart, not just a resume. This role is specifically designed for:

• Students: Earn money while you study. Perfect for psychology, nursing, or social work majors looking for field experience.
• Semi-Retired & Active Seniors: You aren't ready to stop moving, but you want low-stress, high-impact work that respects your time.
• Busy Parents & Caregivers: You need supplemental income that works around your childcare or family schedule.
• Supplemental Income Seekers: You have a primary job but need a "side hustle" that feels good and pays competitively.

What You Will Do (The "Heart Work")

You won't just be a staff member; you will be a bridge to the community. Your goal is to help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) live happy, independent lives.

• Be a Companion: Offer friendship, conversation, and encouragement.
• Be a Coach: Help individuals learn new skills, pursue their personal goals, and engage with their community.
• Be a Support: assist with daily living activities, health, and safety, always prioritizing their dignity.

Why You’ll Love Working With Abound Health

• Genuine Flexibility: We don't just say "flexible"—we mean it. You choose the hours that work for your life. Shifts can be as minimal as a few hours a week or month.
• No Experience? No Problem: If you have a kind heart and a willingness to learn, we provide paid training. This is an accessible entry point into healthcare and social services.
• Real Support: We are a team that values you as a person. We move fast to get you hired and supported.

What You Need to Bring

• Age: Must be 18 years or older.
• Attitude: Reliable, compassionate, and ready to listen.
• Clearance: Willingness to undergo a standard background check.
• Transport: A valid driver’s license is preferred to help get our clients out into the community!

A Note on Experience: While prior experience in caregiving, personal support, or disability services is a plus, it is not required. If you are willing to learn, we are willing to teach.

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you are ready for a job that values your time and your heart, we want to meet you.
