Direct Support Professional - PRN (As-needed) About Above Expectations, LLC

At Above Expectations, we believe support is more than a service — it’s a relationship built on dignity, compassion, and possibility. We provide person-centered residential services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Delaware, helping each person build independence, meaningful connections, and a life they’re proud of. Our team celebrates small wins, creates big opportunities, and shows up every day ready to make a difference.

We’re looking for dependable individuals who can adapt to different homes, support needs, and schedules — while maintaining the same high standard of care.

As a PRN Direct Support Professional, you will provide hands-on support to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our residential homes. While your schedule may vary, your commitment to quality support remains constant. In this role, you will:

• Assist individuals with activities of daily living such as dressing or hygiene needs
• Support goals outlined in the Person-Centered Plan (PCP) and Behavior Support Plan (BSP)
• Promote independence while maintaining safety and dignity
• Provide crisis support using approved intervention techniques

• Maintain Approved LLAM Medication Status
• Administer medications and document according to LLAM protocol
• Monitor and report health changes or concerns

• Document significant events and observations in the Electronic Record
• Safeguard individuals’ funds when assigned
• Report incidents in accordance with DDDS and company policy

• Assist with household responsibilities including cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation
• Provide transportation using agency vehicles when assigned
• Support participation in community outings and activities

Using the Rippling mobile app, you’ll receive notifications when shifts become available and can request the ones that fit your availability and schedule. This allows you to maintain flexibility while still making a meaningful impact.

Whether you’re balancing another job, school, family responsibilities, or simply prefer a more flexible schedule, this role gives you the ability to choose when you work — while still being part of a supportive, mission-driven team.

PRN employees request and accept available open shifts through the company’s scheduling system.

Shift requests are reviewed and approved based on operational needs, including:

• Required certifications (CPR, LLAM, MANDT)
• Gender-specific staffing requirements when applicable
• Individual support needs
• Prior shift assignments to ensure fair distribution of hours among PRN staff

To maintain active PRN status, employees must:

• Work a minimum of 36 hours per month
• Maintain required certifications and training
• Demonstrate reliable attendance when shifts are accepted

While we strive to provide opportunities for all PRN staff to maintain active status, shift availability is not guaranteed and is dependent on operational needs.

Failure to meet minimum monthly hours may result in written warning and review of employment status. All shift assignments remain subject to operational needs and supervisor approval.

You value flexibility — but you also value follow-through. When you accept a shift, you show up ready, prepared, and professional. You adapt easily to different homes and support needs. You communicate clearly and handle challenges calmly.

You understand that even as PRN staff, the individuals we serve rely on you.
