A perfect DSP to the family is someone who can manage playing Xbox games with the client. A DSP that can have good energy at all times, this client tends to go based off of the energy you give him. For example, If you feel sad he may act like he is said due to you showing those emotions so the family prefers someone with good examples and expressions. The family does have 4 cats around the household. This client is into sports, So a DSP that likes to be an athletic person is preferred but not required just as long as your okay being outside year round !

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.
