Are you interested in a life-changing opportunity that will make a lasting difference in the lives of people with special needs?

Jill’s House is a Christian non-profit organization and auxiliary ministry of McLean Bible Church called by God to love families with individuals that have special needs toward Jesus by providing them with short-term, overnight respite care and holistic family support services.

We will be serving kids with intellectual disabilities in Middleburg, VA.

We are looking for Direct Support Professionals to join our team to work weekends at camp with incredible campers with intellectual disabilities. While their diagnosis might keep them from a typical camp experience, Direct Support Professionals assist to tailor weekend adventures just for them at Camp Highroad in Middleburg, VA. From archery to the giant swing, talent shows, and campfire s’mores, Jill’s House campers get it all!

Our camp runs year-round, about 10 times a year, and we prefer that our Camp DSPs serve at least 4 camp weekends per year.

Responsibilities
  • The guidance and supervision of the campers to whom they are assigned.
  • Assist with activities of daily living (i.e., toileting, showering, feeding, brushing teeth, etc.)
  • Ensure safety of participants.
  • Assist volunteers with camper engagement.
  • Manage behaviors and redirect campers when behaviors arise.
  • Complete camper documentation and adhere to Jill’s House policies and procedures.
Minimum Requirements /Qualifications
  • Be at least 18 and be a high school graduate or GED.
  • Preferred experience working with people with disabilities, or at least 1-year successful experience in working directly with children.
  • Patience and passion for working with children.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication.
  • Flexible team player with a willingness to learn and grow.
  • Physical strength and stamina to participate in camp activities.
  • Affirm the McLean Bible Church Vision and Values as well as Standards of Christian Conduct.

The goal of Jill’s House is to share Jesus’ love with children with special needs and their families through professional excellence.
