After comprehensive training, Direct Support Professionals work in residential homes, day programs, and in supporting people to find meaningful employment of their own. Ideal candidates will have a strong desire to create positive, long-term impacts on the lives of the people they support by providing encouragement, mentoring, and coaching to achieve their goals. Direct Support Professionals are essential workers. DSP’s don't take care of people - they provide the supports necessary for someone to learn new skills while living, enjoying, and working in the community. Competitive starting pay, choice of where you work, and a flexible and rewarding career and just some of the benefits you can expect.
Becoming a Direct Support Professional may lead to a lifelong career, or it might be a stepping stone to advancement. Many DSP’s become supervisors, managers, and directors. There are plenty of opportunities to grow your skills and develop your talents. The first step is applying and learning more.
