Direct Support Professional Senior

Build a career that matters—right here in your community. Looking for more than just a job? As a Direct Support Professional (DSP) Senior, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact in the Coxsackie area—supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independent, fulfilling lives at home and in their community.

This is hands-on, meaningful work where you’ll build relationships, develop leadership skills, and be part of a team that truly values what you do.

What You’ll Do

• Support everyday living: Assist with personal care, meals, medication, and overall health
• Encourage independence: Help individuals build skills like budgeting, social interaction, and community participation
• Be an advocate: Support individuals in reaching their personal goals and living life on their terms
• Lead the team: Mentor and support DSP staff, helping create a strong, reliable team environment
• Keep people safe: Ensure a safe, supportive setting while following best practices and guidelines
• Stay active in the community: Help individuals participate in local activities, events, and daily routines

Why This Role Stands Out

• Local, stable work – build a career close to home
• Purpose-driven – see the difference you make every day
• Leadership opportunity – grow your skills while supporting others
• Team-focused culture – work alongside people who care

What We’re Looking For

• Dependable, compassionate professionals who want to make a difference
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Ability to stay flexible and step in where needed
• Commitment to respectful, person-centered care

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree, or Associate’s + 2 years’ experience, or 4 years’ experience
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (required in this area)
• Ability to complete required certifications, including medication administration
• Experience in human services or team leadership preferred
