Direct Support Professional (Dsp)

• $500 Sign-On Bonus for All Direct Support Positions**

As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), what would I do?

As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you will empower adults with disabilities to lead their best lives. Every day you will provide support to meet their individualized goals. Dayshift DSPs get the busy time! Everyone is up and about, from doctor's appointments to family visits to horseback riding lessons; you are there for all of it! As a Swing Shift DSP, you are there for wind-down times of the day. People are coming home from their day-to-day adventures, and it's time to start prepping and making dinner, passing meds and chatting with residents. Night Shift DSPs are there for the quiet hours. People are mostly asleep, and you get the peaceful task of resetting the home for the next day's activities. Prepping meals, cleaning up, and planning for the morning. Regardless of your shift, everything falls into MV Advancements' core values, and living those values lets you know you are on the right track!

Typically, the Day Shift runs 5:30 AM- 1:30 PM; Swing Shift runs 1:00 PM- 11:00 PM; Night Shift runs 10:30 PM- 7:30 AM.

Core Values and Duties

• We Are People People!-- Everything you do as a DSP and as a part of the MVA team is in support of others. Being a people person means seeing people as people, not as tasks or trials. All people deserve respect, be it the residents, coworkers, families, and other partners.
• Be Your Best!-- Let's be honest, cleaning the kitchen, prepping meals, documentation, and general housekeeping isn't always glamorous. However, those tasks are VITAL to the daily successes of your residents and coworkers. Approach your work with the highest level of integrity and bring your best.
• We Got This!-- Supporting people with a "can-do positive attitude" is a team sport at MVA! We are all here to ensure the work gets done and the people in our care live their BEST lives.
• PIVOT!-- Did not see that coming. Not a problem; adjust, adapt and flourish. Every day at MVA is an adventure (and a fun one).
• Let's Try This!-- Approaching situations with creativity and a "Let's Try This" mindset means we are innovators!! We invite you to share your ideas! Help make MVA the best it can be, and be open to new ideas.

We will teach you everything that you need to know! No experience is required for this role; all you need is a desire to learn and support others.

Customer service skills tend to translate really well! If you are looking for another avenue t provide excellent customer service outside the food industry, give us a try!
