Direct Support Staff

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) – Great Benefits, Competitive Salary, Paid Training

Many people go to work every day, wondering if they’re making a difference. 
Direct support professionals don’t wonder—they know they are.

Filling Homes is looking for direct support professionals, or DSPs. 

As a DSP, you’ll assist individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities with their daily needs and activities.  Through the care you’ll give, our residents have the opportunity to reach their greatest level of independence. 

DSPs are in your grocery stores helping people shop.  They’re accompanying people to local events in your community.  And they’re providing training and assistance to someone you may know.

Anyone can be a DSP.  There is no special training required—and we pay you while you learn everything you need to succeed.

And unlike most jobs, DSPs do something deeply rewarding while they earn a competitive wage and benefits.

Here’s what you’ll get as a DSP:

• a starting wage of $10.00/hr. with opportunities for wage increases in as little as 3 months
• paid training and opportunities for advancement
• annual raises are guaranteed
• a career that is recession-proof (and with an ever-growing demand)
• compensation while attending parties, special events, and offsite outings
• a discount on your Verizon cellphone bill
• vision/dental/medical insurance plans
• a set schedule, making it easier to plan the rest of your life
• access to free counseling services (for when life gets a little overwhelming)
• incredible connections with amazing people

Through the care you’ll give, you’ll develop strong bonds with residents at Filling Homes.  Coming to work can end up feeling like spending time with family.

Here’s what we need from you:

• a high school diploma or GED (if you’re working toward this, we still want to talk to you!)
• a valid driver’s license, good driving record and proof of auto insurance
• a willingness to learn (while getting paid!)
• effective verbal and written communication and comprehension skills
• a positive and caring attitude

What Will I Do As a DSP?
Among other things, a DSP assists with routine daily activities in our group home setting.  This could be:

• helping residents with dining, mobility and hygiene activities
• accompanying them to run errands
• attending special community occasions and fun activities like outdoor walks, games and social events
• sitting down to talk and connect with them

Being a DSP is interactive and active — no falling into a rut or being stuck at a desk.  Every day is different at Filling Homes!  Our hope is that you come here every day with something to give—and leave with stories you never want to forget.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, apply today!  We’d love to answer all of your questions and show you how inspirational a career as a DSP can be.

I want to apply!
