Direct Support Professional Supported Living

Looking for a DSP role that gives you flexibility while allowing you to make a real difference in someones independence

Dungarvin is hiring a Direct Support Professional (DSP) to support a person living independently in our Supported Independent Living (SIL) Intensive Apartment Program in Milwaukee.

This is a unique DSP opportunity. You wont be working a traditional group-home schedule. Instead youll provide individualized support based on the persons needs while helping them maintain their home participate in the community manage appointments prepare meals and build independence.

What makes this role different

You will work 22 hours per week but your schedule is flexible.

The position requires you to have physical contact with the person served 7 days a week but not every day is a full workday.

3 days per week:

• Cleaning and maintaining their home
• Grocery shopping and meal preparation
• Community outings and activities
• Attending medical appointments
• Medication assistance
• Supporting daily living skills and independence

4 other days per week:

Youll complete a brief in-person check-in with the individual. These check-ins are approximately 20 minutes and are simply about making physical contact ensuring theyre doing well and providing the support needed that day.

Flexible scheduling

Your 22 hours can be scheduled flexibly between 9:00 AM and 11:00 PM based on the needs of the person served.

There is no traditional MondayFriday 84 schedule. Instead your schedule will vary based on what support is needed and when it makes the most sense for the individual.

This could be a great fit if you:

• Want a part-time DSP position with a flexible schedule
• Enjoy working one-on-one rather than in a busy group-home environment
• Are dependable and comfortable committing to a daily check-in
• Enjoy helping someone live as independently as possible
• Like variety rather than doing the same thing every day
• Are comfortable assisting with household tasks meals appointments medication support and community activities
• Want to build a meaningful relationship with the person you support

One important thing to know

Because this is an Intensive Apartment/SIL program the biggest requirement is consistency. You must be able to physically check in with the person served every day 7 days a week.

The schedule is flexible but the daily commitment is not.

If you are looking for a traditional part-time schedule where you work only 23 days per week this probably isnt the right position.

If youre looking for a flexible role where you can make a meaningful difference in someones life while helping them live independently wed love to hear from you.
