If making a positive impact in the lives of others is always on your to‑do list, you’ll LOVE working with a team that puts people first.

We’re looking for Direct Support Professionals to join our team!

As a DSP, you will provide support and guidance to people served as they learn and develop important daily living skills and life activities to live as independently as possible.

• A natural helper – you possess the instinct to help people feel relaxed, safe, and confident.
• A top‑notch listener – you hear each person’s unique story and embrace their uniqueness.
• A dedicated teacher – you enjoy helping others explore and learn.
• A proud advocate – you have an innate desire to stand up for people who need a voice.
• A born go‑getter – you always look for ways to add value, improve processes, build others up, and make the world a better place.

• Assist with the development of important daily living skills and life activities by creating an environment where people can learn, grow, and discover.
• Help people identify and achieve the goals most important to them in order to live their best life possible.
• Monitor the comfort and safety of the people we serve while ensuring their medical, nutritional, and personal care needs are being met.
• Demonstrate emotional support while assisting with general housekeeping, meal preparation, and laundry duties.

• You have a passion for helping others.
• You are an effective, clear communicator – both written and verbal.
• You are consistently on time (or early) and strive to exceed expectations whenever possible.
• You have excellent time‑management skills and can juggle multiple responsibilities while communicating honestly about timelines, challenges, and questions.
• You do whatever it takes and “that’s not my job” is not part of your vocabulary.
• When you hear the word inclusive or inclusion, you know that is you; people are people and you consider yourself a people person.

At Mosaic, we believe in creating a workplace where everyone has the chance to contribute and succeed. This commitment is not just a policy, it’s the way we work. It’s good for the workforce, good for Mosaic, and the right thing to do.
