Direct Support Professional Full Time

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are caring, positive role models who work one-on-one or in small groups to help people of all ages lead safe, full, and independent lives.

As a Direct Support Professional at The Jewish Board, you’ll be a teacher, a mentor, a role model, and a friend, helping the people you work with achieve a great quality of life. Your client could be anyone from a child who is in the foster care system, to a young adult living with ongoing mental health issues, to an adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities. You’ll work to support them in a caring manner, in everything from daily routines such as making plans with friends, to joining community events, to grocery shopping and cooking, to participating in recreational activities, and building skills around personal care and relationships.

Being a DSP is not just a job – it’s an amazing opportunity to help others thrive.
