Join Access Abilities – Where Professionalism and Purpose Meet

Access Abilities is seeking a highly experienced Direct Support Professional (DSP) to serve as the overnight presence in our Waiver residential program. This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for a confident, disciplined professional with extensive experience supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).

Overnight support is not passive coverage. It requires sound judgment, active supervision, strong compliance knowledge, and consistent person-centered care during the most vulnerable hours of operation.

If you are an experienced DSP who values structure, accountability, and meaningful work, we encourage you to apply.

Position Overview

The Overnight DSP ensures safety, stability, and full regulatory compliance in a residential setting. This role requires independent decision-making, accurate documentation, medication administration, and consistent implementation of Individual Support Plans (ISPs).

You will serve as the primary responsible staff member during overnight hours.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide active overnight supervision and environmental safety monitoring
  • Implement and document services in accordance with ISPs and behavior plans
  • Administer and document medications per state requirements
  • Maintain accurate, audit‑ready documentation
  • Respond appropriately to medical, behavioral, or environmental incidents
  • Support morning routines and transitions as needed
  • Maintain a safe, structured, and respectful living environment
Required Qualifications
  • Minimum 5 years of verifiable DSP experience supporting individuals with I/DD
  • Current CPR and First Aid certification (meeting state requirements)
  • Completed HCSP (Home and Community Support Professional) training
  • Ability to work independently during overnight hours
  • Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
  • Ability to pass background checks, drug screening, and all regulatory requirements

Only candidates who meet the required experience and certification criteria will be considered.

Ideal Candidate
  • Confident working independently without direct supervision
  • Experienced in waiver documentation and compliance standards
  • Maintains strong professional boundaries and ethical judgment
  • Dependable, organized, and detail-oriented
  • Takes ownership and accountability for outcomes
Compensation and Benefits
  • Competitive hourly wage based on experience
  • Health, dental, and vision, and other insurance (eligibility-based)
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Stable, full‑time overnight schedule
  • Supportive, mission‑driven team culture

If you are an experienced DSP seeking a stable overnight role where your expertise and professionalism are respected, we welcome your application.

Access Abilities is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. Employment decisions are made without regard to any protected characteristic under federal, state, or local law.
