What are the responsibilities and job description for the Direct Support Professional position at Whipple Point LLC?
Direct Support Professional (Flex Staff)
Whipple Point – Logan, UT
Not Your Typical DSP Job
Most places will pay you to sit.
We won’t.
At Whipple Point, you’ll be actively supporting adults with disabilities to live real, independent lives—in the community, in their homes, and in meaningful daily routines.
This role is designed for people who:
- Want flexibility in their schedule
- Want to gain real-world experience (behavioral, clinical, or human services)
- Want to be part of a team that actually does something
What “Flex Staff” Means
This is not a fixed schedule position.
Instead, you’ll:
- Pick up available shifts across multiple homes/programs
- Help cover call-outs and support new client placements
- Have the opportunity to grow into a more consistent schedule over time
Typical hours: 0–25 per week (varies based on availability and program needs)
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
- Supporting adults in daily living (meals, hygiene, routines)
- Assisting with community activities (gym, outings, events, errands)
- Implementing behavior support strategies
- Building independence—not doing things for people
- Maintaining a clean, structured living environment
- Being engaged (this is not a sit-on-your-phone job)
Why This Role is Different
You’re not just “watching” someone.
You’re learning:
- Behavior intervention and de-escalation
- Communication and coaching skills
- How to support real independence in adults
This is a strong fit for those interested in:
- Psychology / ABA / BCBA track
- Social work
- Nursing or healthcare
- Education or human services
What You Get (Beyond Pay)
- Flexible scheduling based on your availability
- Hands-on experience that actually builds your resume
- Opportunities to move into more consistent or full-time roles
- A team that values professionalism and growth
- The ability to make a real impact (not just pass time)
Who This is a Good Fit For
- You want flexibility (school, second job, etc.)
- You don’t mind picking up shifts on short notice
- You want experience that actually translates into a career
- You prefer being active over sitting around
Who This is NOT a Good Fit For
- You’re looking for guaranteed full-time hours immediately
- You want a low-effort or passive job
- You prefer minimal expectations
Growth Opportunities
Strong flex staff are often the first to:
- Move into consistent schedules
- Take on leadership roles
- Train new staff
- Advance within Whipple Point
Requirements
- Reliable transportation
- Ability to pass a background check
- Strong communication and professionalism
- Willingness to learn and stay engaged
