Experienced Direct Support Professional – Residential and Waiver Services

Access Abilities is seeking experienced Direct Support Professionals who operate at a high standard of care, accountability, and professionalism.

This role is designed for career Direct Support Professionals — who understand that direct support is skilled work requiring judgment, documentation discipline, regulatory awareness, and consistent execution. We are looking for professionals who take ownership of outcomes and contribute to a stable, high-performing residential environment.

If you are proactive, driven, solutions-oriented, and growth-minded, this is an opportunity to work in an organization that values experience and holds a strong standard of excellence.

The Experienced DSP provides direct support services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities while ensuring compliance, safety, and dignity in all aspects of care.

• Implement Individual Support Plans (ISPs) and behavior support strategies with consistency
• Provide assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) while promoting independence
• Administer and document medications in compliance with state requirements
• Complete clear, timely, and audit-ready documentation
• Maintain a safe, structured, and person-centered environment
• Communicate effectively with leadership regarding changes in health, behavior, or risk
• Support community integration and transportation as needed

This is not a passive caregiving role. It requires attention to detail, sound judgment, and pride in professional standards.

• Hold themselves accountable without constant supervision
• Anticipate needs rather than reacting to problems
• Maintain strong professional boundaries
• Understand waiver expectations and compliance standards
• Support team culture through reliability and consistency
• Take initiative to strengthen both client outcomes and operational stability

We value DSPs who see this as a profession — not a temporary position.

• Minimum 2+ years of verifiable DSP experience supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
• Strong working knowledge of documentation and compliance requirements
• CPR & First Aid certification preferred
• Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
• Ability to pass all background and regulatory screenings
• HCSP training and medication administration experience strongly preferred.

• Competitive hourly pay based on experience and qualifications
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Health, dental, vision, and additional insurance options (based on eligibility)
• 401(k) with employer match (based on eligibility)
• Opportunities for advancement into Lead and Site-level leadership roles
• Structured, mission-driven team environment

If you are an experienced DSP seeking a professional environment where high standards are expected and respected, we encourage you to apply.
