Dsp Jobs

Have you provided one-on-one support to children or adults who exhibit behaviors such as Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Elopement, Inappropriate Sensory Seeking, or Unfounded Accusatory Behaviors?

That's why we have a full Behavior Team accessible to every family and DSP, regardless of the level of behavior exhibited. Our highly trained Behavior team is committed to providing the best possible support to our DSPs.
In addition to our Behavior team, KIDS NW offers a range of exciting benefits for our DSPs, including a starting wage of $22 per hour, flexible scheduling, and benefits such as 401(k), dental insurance, health insurance, paid time off, vision insurance, and access to the Healthiest You Program.
Our ideal candidate should have experience in behavioral mental health, including working with escalated behaviors, and an understanding of Behavioral Support Plans and Individual Support Plans.
