Description
Direct Support Professional (DSP) – Day Program (1:1)
Part-Time (Opportunity for Full-Time)
Make a Difference Every Day
At Grand Traverse Industries (GTI), we believe people with disabilities have unique talents and valuable contributions to make. Our mission is to create opportunities that help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) achieve greater independence, earn a paycheck, build meaningful relationships, and become active members of their communities.
As a Direct Support Professional (DSP) in our Day Program, you'll provide one-on-one support to an individual, helping them safely participate in activities, build relationships with peers, and access the community while working toward personal and employment goals.
Every day is different. You might be leading an activity, exploring the community, teaching life skills, encouraging independence, or simply being the person who helps someone succeed. You'll create opportunities for growth while building genuine relationships that make a lasting impact.
This is more than a job-it's an opportunity to change lives while finding purpose in your own work.
