Direct Support Professional

Our mission:

It is the mission of this agency to provide adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to involve themselves with their community and live as independently as possible in a home they can call their own.

What does that mean for you?
Let’s rephrase it:

It is the mission of this agency to provide our community members an opportunity to find a fulfilling career where they can create value in the lives of those around them and be valued as they do so.

Benefits:

• Paid training for all employees.
• No prior experience required.
• Employees receive paid vacation, WA state compliant paid sick leave, and are eligible to enroll in medical and dental insurance upon completion of the 60-day training period as long you’re working 30 or more hours per week.
• Opportunities for advancement for those that are interested.

Pay: $20.50 probationary wage. Increases to $21.50 at completion of training and a 90-day assessment period.

Summary:

A Direct Support Professional supports adults with developmental disabilities in living their best life.
