Home-based Community Habilitation DSP

About the role

At Ability Beyond, we’re looking for passionate individuals to support adults with developmental and physical disabilities, helping them live their best lives in our day programs or out in the community. The Ability Beyond community habilitation program serves individuals throughout Westchester County with flexible hours and schedules. You can work part time, full time, or as per diem staff. The individuals in the program are eager to learn and want you to be part of our team.
