Description

Description

An opportunity to learn, grow, and expand your experience!
You'll begin your employment in our Day Services program, working Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm. This is a temporary assignment designed to give you valuable experience in a structured, engaging day program before transitioning into a Direct Support Professional position at one of our 10 group homes.
This is an incredible opportunity to learn in a different capacity, develop foundational caregiving skills, and gain a broader understanding of human services before expanding into residential support.
The Day Services assignment is temporary. Once the temporary staffing need is no longer required, you will transition to one of our 10 group homes. Residential shifts are either 7am–3pm or 3pm –11pm and include at least one weekend day.
What We Offer:
  • Starting pay: $17.50 an hour, with an increase to $18.00 per hour when you complete a paid test to pass meds
  • Consistent Monday–Friday schedule (8am–4pm)
  • Engaging, activity-based day program environment
  • Opportunities to build skills and grow within the organization
  • Paid training in CPR, First Aid, Mandt, and more

Benefits:

  • Up to 3 weeks of Paid Time Off (PTO) per year for full-time employees
  • Medical and dental insurance starting at $95/month (for eligible employees)
  • Vision and life insurance
  • 403(b) retirement plan with up to 3.5% company match
  • Eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)

Your Role:

  • Lead and support small groups and individuals through daily activities, including Friday movie days, seasonal celebrations like a New Year’s Eve dance party, gardening, basketball, and creative programming
  • Support individuals during community outings, including visits to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Butterfly House
  • Promote independence, confidence, and choice-making in a person-centered environment
  • Provide respectful support with daily living skills as needed (meals, hygiene, mobility)
  • Maintain accurate documentation and communicate effectively with team members
  • Foster a positive, inclusive, and well-structured program environment

Opportunities for growth:
We help you build a career in human services. Many of our team members start as Direct Support Professionals and move into:

  • Leadership roles such as Shift Lead or House Manager
  • Behavioral support roles such as Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
  • Administrative and program support roles

We promote from within and support ongoing professional development.


Equal Opportunity Employer:
We provide equal employment opportunities and prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by law.
