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
