Direct Support Professional

A Mustard Seed Outreach is seeking dependable, compassionate Direct Support Professionals to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Covington, Georgia, and surrounding communities.

Full-time availability is preferred, but part-time applicants are welcome. We offer competitive pay and meaningful, hands‑on work through our supported independent living and Day Program Without Walls programs.

Our approach centers on each person’s choices, interests, strengths, and goals. You’ll help adults build everyday skills, participate in their community, develop relationships, and live with greater independence.

This work can include supporting someone as they prepare a meal, participate in a volunteer activity, attend a community event, or work toward a personal goal. The support you provide should help each person participate fully and make decisions about their own life.

• Support daily routines and independent living skills based on each individual’s needs.
• Encourage participation in community activities, recreation, volunteering, and social opportunities.
• Respect each person’s dignity, privacy, preferences, and right to make choices.
• Follow individual support plans and established safety procedures.
• Communicate clearly with the support team and complete required documentation.
• Maintain professional boundaries and provide consistent, dependable support.

Experienced, qualified DSPs are strongly encouraged to apply. We also welcome students, graduate students, recent graduates, and other applicants who are serious about this work and willing to learn and meet the role’s requirements.

This opportunity may be especially relevant to those studying psychology, social work, education, human services, nursing, or related fields. Applicants from other backgrounds are welcome.

Strong candidates bring patience, good judgment, clear communication, and respect for adults with disabilities. Reliability is essential: the people we support depend on staff who arrive as scheduled, stay engaged, and follow through.

• Full-time preferred; part-time applicants considered.
• Competitive pay.
• In-person work in Covington and surrounding communities.
• Available hours, assignments, and role‑specific requirements will be discussed during the application process.

We’re looking for people who understand the responsibility of this work and see the possibilities in it. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
