Residential Float Direct Support Professional (DSP)

Residential Services | Full-Time | Minimum 30 Hours Per Week
Cañon City, Colorado

Make a Difference Wherever You’re Needed Most

Starpoint is seeking dependable, flexible, and compassionate Residential Float Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to join our Residential Services team.

Starpoint provides services and supports to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in residential settings 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Residential Float DSPs provide dependable staffing coverage across multiple residential locations during employee PTO, call-offs, vacancies, training, appointments, and other staffing needs. Your flexibility helps ensure the adults we serve continue receiving safe, consistent, and high-quality support.

Position Overview

Residential Float DSPs are full-time employees who work a minimum of 30 hours per week. Employees will have the opportunity to select from available open shifts. If an employee does not select at least 30 hours, supervisors will assign additional shifts based on staffing and program needs to meet the required minimum. Unlike DSPs who may have a primary residential assignment, Residential Float DSPs are cross-trained to work at multiple Starpoint residential homes and provide coverage wherever it is needed. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, adapts well to changing environments, and is comfortable working with different individuals, teams, schedules, and residential routines.

How Float Scheduling Works

• Residential Float DSPs must work a minimum of 30 hours each week.
• Employees may select available open shifts first.
• Employees are responsible for selecting enough shifts to meet the 30-hour weekly minimum.
• If an employee does not select at least 30 hours, supervisors will assign the employee to available shifts based on residential staffing needs.
• Assigned shifts are a required responsibility of the position.
• Employees must be available to work at multiple residential locations.
• Flexibility may be required for day, evening, overnight, weekend, and holiday coverage.

Requirements

What You’ll Do

• Provide person-centered services and supports to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
• Work at multiple residential homes based on program and staffing needs
• Provide coverage for employee PTO, call-offs, vacancies, training, appointments, and other staffing needs
• Assist individuals with activities of daily living and personal care
• Encourage independence, personal choice, community participation, and meaningful relationships
• Support individuals with appointments, activities, transportation, and community outings
• Assist with meal preparation, cleaning, laundry, and other household responsibilities
• Administer medications after completing required training and authorization
• Follow individual service plans, protocols, behavior-support plans, and health and safety requirements
• Complete required documentation accurately and on time
• Maintain professional communication with individuals receiving services, coworkers, supervisors, families, and other members of the support team
• Respond appropriately to emergencies and changes in individual needs
• Complete required training and maintain the certifications and competencies necessary for assigned locations

Cross-Training Expectations

Residential Float DSPs will be cross-trained at multiple Starpoint residential locations so they are prepared to provide safe and consistent services wherever coverage is needed.

Residential Float DSPs work for Starpoint’s Residential Services program, rather than for a specific house or individual receiving services.

Employees must be willing to:

• Work with different individuals, teams, and residential environments
• Learn and follow the routines and requirements of each assigned home
• Complete all required training and individual-specific competencies
• Accept assignments at locations where qualified coverage is needed
• Adapt professionally to changing schedules and staffing needs

Qualifications

Successful candidates should:

• Be dependable, flexible, compassionate, and committed to supporting adults with I/DD
• Be comfortable working at different residential locations
• Adapt well to different individuals, routines, teams, and support needs
• Follow written and verbal instructions, individual plans, and agency procedures
• Demonstrate professional communication, sound judgment, and teamwork
• Maintain reliable and consistent attendance
• Meet Starpoint’s employment, background, driving, and training requirements
• Possess a valid driver’s license and maintain an acceptable driving record
• Meet the physical requirements of the position
• Be willing to complete required DSP, medication administration/QMAP, CPR and First Aid, individual-specific, and other assigned training and competencies

Previous DSP, caregiving, healthcare, behavioral health, or human-services experience is helpful but not required. Starpoint provides the training and support needed to succeed.
