Creative Options is looking for a few special people to support individuals with developmental disabilities in a residential setting. As a Direct Support Professional (DSP) you will assist individuals with activities that foster independence, facilitate community involvement, and enhance the overall quality of life. Get paid to make a difference and have fun in the community!

Responsibilities and duties may include, but are not limited to:

• Supervising, supporting, and guiding the individual through regular daily activities.
• Assistance with meal preparation.
• Assist with grocery shopping and/or provide transportation to and from grocery store.
• Supporting the learning of social, domestic, and life skills.
• Medication administration.
• Providing personal care, toileting, and/or hygiene assistance.
• Using a personal vehicle to provide transportation to and from an individual's place of employment, medical appointments, and other community activities.
• Facilitate activities centered around the individual's wants, needs, and goals.

• Monitoring the individual's general emotional and physical well-being.

Requirements for this position upon hire:

• Must be at least 18 years of age.
• Must possess a high school diploma/GED (proof must be shown upon hire).
• Candidates that do not have a diploma or GED must be working toward it. The lack of diploma/GED will keep a new hire from passing medications. As a result employees without a diploma or GED will make on average $1 less per hour.

• Must have reliable transportation. Drivers must show proof of a valid license, auto insurance, and an acceptable driving record (less than 6 points) upon hire.
• Successful clearance of reference and state and/or federal background checks.
• Must be reliable.
• Must be able to read, write, and understand the English language.
• Ability to effectively adapt to different situations, sometimes often.

• Must have the physical ability to lift, push, or carry up to 50 lbs, and walk, climb, kneel, squat, or crouch, as needed, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Must have excellent communication, time management, and organizational skills.
• Must have experience with or be willing to learn how to effectively redirect behaviors (CPI a plus!).
• Must have the ability to remain active for extended periods of time.
• Must have a positive attitude, friendly demeanor, and strong sense of accountability.
