Direct Support Professional

The Role

Be a Mentor, Not Just a "Staff Member"
As a CLS Specialist, you aren't just "providing care"—you are a bridge to independence. You are the person who helps someone with intellectual or developmental disabilities navigate their world, build new skills, and find their voice.

Your day-to-day

• Exploring the Community: Helping someone find a great volunteer spot or a new hobby.
• Building Independence: Teaching the "art" of a great home-cooked meal or managing a shopping trip.
• Being an Advocate: Ensuring the people we serve are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
• Celebrating Wins: Whether it's hitting a personal safety goal or mastering a new task, you are there to cheer them on.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• We See You: We take pride in our staff and make sure you're recognized for your hard work—not just lost in the shuffle.
• Professional Growth: This isn't just a job; it's a leadership lab. You'll develop communication and problem-solving skills that stay with you forever.
• Passion-Driven Team: Work alongside people who actually care about their "why."
• Full Training Provided: Have a big heart but no experience? Don't sweat it. We'll provide all the training you need to feel confident and successful.

What We're Looking For

• The Right Heart: You are patient, motivating, and believe in empowerment.
• Reliability: You have a high school diploma (or equivalent) and a valid Michigan Driver's License with reliable transportation.
• Communication: You're a pro at keeping your team in the loop and maintaining a positive vibe.
• Clean Record: A clear criminal background check is required.
• Note: One year of experience is a plus, but if you're eager to learn, we want to meet you!
