URGENT HIRE!!!
Client in Auglaize County, OH in need of A Direct Support Professional (DSP) Monday-Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to start, possibly increasing hours in the future.
No Transport Required, No Medication Administration Required
 
A Direct Support Professional (DSP) works directly with individuals who have intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) to foster independence and support fulfilling, self-directed lives.

Their responsibilities are multifaceted and often categorized by the specific type of support provided: 
Daily Living & Personal Care
  • Skill Development: Teaching life skills such as cooking, laundry, housecleaning, and personal hygiene (bathing/dressing).
  • Personal Assistance: Providing direct aid with eating, mobility, transferring, and grooming based on the individual's needs.

Health & Safety Management
  • Medical Support: Administering or monitoring medication, tracking health concerns, and coordinating with healthcare providers.
  • Nutrition: Planning menus and preparing meals that meet specific dietary requirements.
  • Emergency Response: Maintaining certifications in CPR and First Aid to handle unforeseen medical or safety situations.
  • Safety Monitoring: Ensuring a safe living environment free from health hazards and reporting any suspected abuse or neglect.

  • Community & Social Integration
  • Community Participation: Facilitating involvement in social networks, recreational activities, workshops, or clubs to build social connections.
  • Transportation: Driving individuals to doctor appointments, social outings, or work assignments.
  • Advocacy: Acting as an advocate to ensure the individual's rights are respected and their voice is heard in the community. 

  • Administrative & Professional Duties
    • Documentation: Keeping accurate daily logs of care, medication administration, mood changes, and progress toward personal goals.
    • Individual Support Plans (ISP): Adhering to and implementing personalized behavior and care plans developed by healthcare teams.
    • Team Collaboration: Communicating regularly with family members, case managers, and other medical professionals to ensure consistent care.
