What are the responsibilities and job description for the Direct Support Professional (DSP) / Caregiver - Fayette County, Washington Court House OH position at Nirvana Services LLC?
Direct Support Professional (DSP) / Caregiver, Fayette County, Washington Court House OH
Nirvana Services LLC
We are building our Fayette County team now and we want to hear from you before a placement opens, not after.
Nirvana Services LLC is a DODD certified Medicaid Waiver provider supporting individuals with developmental disabilities across Ohio. We staff one to one, we pay well, and we look after the people who work for us. That is the whole model.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Location: Fayette County and Washington Court House, in the family home and out in the community
Hours: up to 40 a week, a steady weekly pattern with days, evenings and weekends
Support: one to one, matched to you rather than assigned at random
This is a steady placement with one individual and one family. Medical support experience is welcome. Not a rotating shift job, and not a different face every week.
WHY PEOPLE COME TO US, AND WHY THEY STAY
We pay well. That is deliberate and it is the first thing we will be straight with you about. We would rather pay properly and keep someone for years than churn through people the way much of this industry does. Your certifications move your rate, and a medication certification opens the better paid placements.
We communicate. You will not be left guessing about your schedule, your hours or your pay. Email or text us and you get a real answer from a real person, quickly.
A retention bonus at the 90 day mark, and benefits that become available at the same point, including a 401k.
Mileage paid when you are transporting the individual you support.
One to one placements only, never a floor full of people.
We work around your availability wherever we can, including school hours and weekend only schedules.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Provide one to one supervision, support and companionship
Support daily routines, structure, communication and independence
Help with community activities, outings, appointments and recreation
Assist with personal care, meal preparation and light household tasks related to care
Keep clear and accurate daily documentation
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
DODD 8 hour orientation certificate, or willingness to complete it
Current CPR and First Aid certification
Valid driver license, reliable vehicle and current auto insurance
High school diploma or equivalent
Medication certification is a plus and opens more placements
Experience as a DSP, STNA, HHA, caregiver, home health aide, personal care aide or direct care worker is welcome. We also train the right person
