What are the responsibilities and job description for the Direct Support Professional / Personal Assistant position at ReSOARces?
Full job description
Overview
Looking for a job where you get paid to stay active, go out in the community, and help someone live independently?
I’m seeking dependable and compassionate individuals to join my support team as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) / Personal Assistant.
This is not your typical sit-around-the-house caregiving job. I enjoy staying active, getting out in the community, exploring new places, and occasionally traveling - so this position is perfect for someone who prefers being out and about rather than sitting still all day.
Pay
- $26/hour while I am awake
- $21/hour while I am asleep
- Payroll is managed through Seven Counties
About Me
I am an adult living with cerebral palsy and legal blindness, but I value my independence and live a very active lifestyle. I enjoy getting out into the community, trying new places, and traveling when possible. If you enjoy traveling too, that’s a plus - I cover my DSP’s travel expenses when we go on trips.
Responsibilities Include (but are not limited to)
- Assisting with personal hygiene, bathing, and grooming
- Helping with meal preparation and light household tasks
- Keeping living areas tidy
- Supporting daily routines and community outings
- Driving my accessible van (no personal vehicle required)
- Providing companionship and conversation
What I'm Looking For
- No healthcare experience or certifications required - training is provided
- Reliable, patient, and willing to learn
- Comfortable assisting with personal care
- Able to safely assist with wheelchair transfers
- Valid driver’s license required
Schedule
- Monday: Open Availability
- Tuesday: 2:00pm-10:00pm
- Wednesday: Open Availability
- Thursday: 4:00pm-10:00pm
- Friday: 9:00am–1:00pm
- Saturday: 3:00pm–12:00am
- Sunday: Open availability
A Unique Benefit of This Position
This role is person-directed, meaning you work directly with me rather than through layers of management. Scheduling and communication are simple - if you need time off or schedule adjustments, you coordinate directly with me instead of going through a large agency.
Why This Job is Great
- Competitive pay
- No experience required
- Active job — not sitting around all day
- Opportunities to get out in the community
- Travel opportunities with expenses covered
- Simple communication and scheduling
- Meaningful work helping someone maintain independence
