What are the responsibilities and job description for the Direct Support Professional | DSP | Caregiver | $21–23/hr | Part-Time position at New Peak Direct Care?
New Peak Direct Care is a Personal Assistance agency built on one belief: that the quality of care starts with the quality of the people delivering it. We're a new company backed by nearly 20 years of experience in this field. That means more access to leadership, more input, and more room to grow than you'd get anywhere else.
What You'll Do
You'll work one-on-one with clients with developmental disabilities — in their homes and out in the community. That means going where their life takes them. A workout or recreational activity on Saturday. A college class on Tuesday. A therapy appointment on Thursday. Errands with family on Friday. You follow the client, learn their world, and show up consistently for them and their family. Every client is different. We'll make sure you're ready before your first shift.
Pay & Schedule
- $21–23/hr based on experience
- Part-time: 15–25 hours/week
- Shifts built around your availability
What We Offer
- Paid training
- Paid CPR/First Aid certification
- Mileage reimbursement
- Cell phone reimbursement
- California sick pay
- Growth opportunities — including office admin and supervisor roles as the company builds out
- Direct mentorship from leadership
- Flexible scheduling around school or other jobs
Who This Is For
If you're active and like being on the move, you'll do well here. Your interests outside of work — sports, music, art, creative hobbies — are actually useful. Clients and families are looking for someone who can introduce them to things they haven't experienced yet. Good fit if you're a college student in psychology, social work, or education — or making a career change into human services or behavioral health. Prior experience as a caregiver, home health aide, or DSP is a plus — not a requirement.
Requirements
- Valid CA Driver's License proof of auto insurance
- Clear Live Scan background check and TB test
- CPR/First Aid certification (or willing to get it before start date)
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Authorized to work in the United States
- Ability to lift up to 25 lbs and stay active during shifts
- Bilingual English/Spanish a plus
