Part-Time Enhanced Support Professional

Make a Meaningful Difference While Helping Someone Build a More Independent Life

Do you have experience supporting individuals with Autism, OCD, or behavioral needs
? Are you patient, creative, dependable, and genuinely enjoy helping someone learn, grow, and become more independent?

We’re looking for a compassionate and skilled Enhanced Support Professional to join an experienced team supporting a vibrant young woman who is working toward greater independence, meaningful relationships, and an active life in her community.

This is an opportunity to use your skills in a way that truly matters. You’ll help her build confidence, develop skills, navigate challenges, and participate in activities she enjoys—including theater, musicians, coffee outings, volunteering, and social events
.

The Position
  • Part-time: 2–4 days per week
  • Approximately 4–6 hours per shift
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Support provided in the home and throughout the community
  • $37/hour starting rate
  • Mileage reimbursed at the federal rate
What You’ll Do
  • Provide thoughtful, positive behavioral support
  • Help build independence and everyday living skills
  • Teach, coach, and reinforce new skills
  • Support successful community and social experiences
  • Help develop creative strategies for everyday challenges
  • Encourage participation in meaningful activities and relationships
  • Work collaboratively with the individual and her support team
  • Provide consistency, patience, and encouragement
What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is more than a caregiver
—someone who enjoys teaching, problem-solving, and helping another person discover what she can accomplish.

Ideal candidates will have:
  • Experience supporting individuals with Autism, OCD, developmental disabilities, or mental health/behavioral needs
  • At least 1 year of experience as a caregiver, TSS, PCA, DSP, or in a similar role
  • Strong teaching, coaching, and interpersonal skills
  • Creativity, patience, flexibility, and reliability
  • The ability to remain calm, positive, and solution-focused
  • CESP or ACRE job coaching certification is a plus
Education & Certification

One of the following is preferred:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Education, Special Education, Counseling, Social Work, or a related field
  • NADD Competency-Based Certification in Dual Diagnosis IDD/MI
  • Current RBT certification
Why This Job Is Different

You’ll be part of a team that believes support should be about building a life—not simply providing care. Your role will be to help someone develop skills, experience success, make connections, and participate in the community in ways that are meaningful to her.

If you’re looking for flexible, rewarding work where your behavioral and teaching skills can make a real difference
, we’d love to hear from you.
