Looking for a Job With Heart, Purpose, and Plenty of Personality?
Imagine a job where your day includes sharing laughs, celebrating accomplishments, building friendships, and helping someone experience more of what makes life wonderful.
Welcome to Arc Broward's Barc Housing!
We're looking for caring, energetic, dependable people to join our team as Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) — the everyday champions who help adults with developmental disabilities live happy, healthy, meaningful lives.
This isn't just about providing care. It's about building connections, encouraging independence, creating opportunities, and helping people live life on their own terms.
And the best part? You get to make a difference while being yourself!
What Makes This Job So Special?
- No two days are exactly alike! Every person you support has their own personality, interests, talents, and goals.
- Make meaningful connections! Build relationships with incredible people who will make just as much of an impact on your life as you do on theirs.
- Celebrate the little things — and the BIG things! Help someone master a new skill, reach a personal goal, or simply have a great day.
- Bring your personality to work! Love music, sports, cooking, games, or creative activities? Your interests can help make everyday moments more enjoyable.
- Be someone's biggest cheerleader! Encourage confidence, independence, and new experiences.
- Work with a team that cares! Surround yourself with people who believe everyone deserves to feel valued, respected, and included.
So, What Does a DSP Actually Do?
At Barc Housing, you'll help create a safe, supportive, and welcoming home for adults with developmental disabilities.
Your days may include:
- Helping residents enjoy their daily routines, activities, and personal interests.
- Encouraging independence and supporting residents as they work toward their goals.
- Sharing conversations, laughter, activities, and meaningful experiences.
- Assisting with daily living needs, including bathing, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene.
- Helping maintain a safe, comfortable, and positive home environment.
- Working alongside your teammates to provide compassionate, individualized support.
- Recognizing challenging situations and using your training to respond safely and appropriately.
Some moments will be fun. Some will be challenging. All of them are opportunities to make a difference.
