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.

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.
- 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.)

- Manage behaviors and redirect campers when behaviors arise.
