      Responsibilities

      The support needs of people with disabilities are highly individualized. As a result, what a DSP does day-to-day varies based on the unique needs of the client.

      In some roles, DSPs teach people with disabilities how to do things independently. In others, they complete tasks the individual cannot complete on their own.

      • Assist with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming
      • Safely provide transportation to appointments and activities
      • Prepare and serve meals
      • Assist with housekeeping and laundry tasks
      • Assist with communication and socialization
      • Assist with community integration and participation in recreational activities
      • Document daily progress and behaviors of individuals
      • Respond to medical emergencies or crisis situations

      Qualifications

      • High school diploma or equivalent.
      • Valid New York state driver’s license and reliable transportation
      • Excellent communication skills.
      • No prior experience is required due to the training program we would provide.
      • Must be willing to learn and apply new skills.

      Our Commitment to Equity and Justice

      We believe that people are entitled to dignity, respect, equity and justice. We champion a society that removes barriers. We reject racism and discrimination of any kind. We protest systemic and political inequities that marginalize people, recognizing that there is a history of structural racism in the United States. We will continue to learn and change to achieve justice. We know that strength comes from unity.
