Make a Real Impact Every Day

At Ameriwell Care, we believe support work is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to change lives. As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you’ll help individuals with developmental disabilities build independence, gain confidence, and stay connected to their communities.

We are a provider aligned with the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities, offering consistent opportunities, strong team support, and a work environment where you are respected and valued.

In this role, you’ll work closely with individuals in their homes and out in the community, helping them live more independently and achieve their personal goals.

Your day-to-day may include:

  • Supporting individuals with daily routines and essential life skills
  • Assisting with personal care, meal preparation, and organization
  • Accompanying individuals to community activities, appointments, and outings
  • Encouraging social interaction, confidence, and independence
  • Ensuring a safe, structured, and positive environment
  • Recording services accurately using required electronic systems
  • Staying in communication with families and the care team

  • Referral bonus opportunities
  • Responsive, supportive office team that has your back
  • Quick and organized onboarding so you can start earning sooner

  • Be able to complete all required hiring clearances and screenings
  • Have (or be willing to obtain) CPR and First Aid certification
  • Have reliable transportation for getting to assigned cases
  • Bring a positive attitude, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility
