Direct Support Professional-Team Leader

Some jobs are just a paycheck. Living Innovations jobs are more than that. It’s a paycheck plus meaningful work. Sound like you?

Living Innovations is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic DSP Team Lead to join our growing team. In this rewarding role, you will act as a mentor and a community connector. You will split your time between providing top-tier direct support and providing the oversight and direction that helps our other DSPs excel. We are looking for a seasoned direct care provider who has "been there" and knows what it takes to provide exceptional support.
