Family Relief Resources is hiring for a Direct Support Professional / In Home Care Giver:

Family Relief Resources is an agency that provides quality support service to children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our vision at Family Relief Resources is to connect each individual with the direct support worker that can best help them experience love, reach toward their goals and desired outcomes, and assist them in their home and community environments to become their best selves. We provide relief and support for parents and guardians. We offer direct support workers an hourly wage in a career that has opportunities for growth, savings and enjoyment.

Direct Support Professional (DSP) / In Home Care Giver Responsibilities and Duties:

This role involves caring for a client on an individual basis in their home environment and taking them out into the community to learn skills and socialize. This role varies depending on the client but can involve teaching skills of independent living such as self-care, behavior management, budgeting, cooking, shopping and cleaning. Family Relief Resources is not a physical facility -100% of activities happen in the community or a client’s home.

Staff can choose how many clients to work with and can collaborate with the families to create a weekly schedule. We need enthusiastic, patient, caring, creative and dependable support workers that are ready to make a difference and integrate into their client’s family with love and kindness.

The day-to-day duties of the job require:

* Smart Phone. The state requires time be kept on their website with GPS location verification. You will need a smart phone to clock in and out for each shift at the client’s location.

* Driving. Have a valid license and car with current insurance. Not all clients will need transportation, but most do.

* Documenting. Must keep specific progress notes weekly.

* Scheduling. Each DSW has a set schedule and must be able to maintain this with clients.

* Reliability. Because Family Relief Resources is not a facility, we need reliable employees who can work independently, show up for their shifts, and be an excellent communicator with their client’s families and with our agency.

* Patient, Kind, and Positive. Helping those with disabilities requires a person who can be patient in all situations, show kindness, and have a positive attitude toward the client and other members of the client’s family even in challenging situations.
