Direct Support Professional / Personal Assistant

Overview
Looking for a job where you get paid to stay active, go out in the community, and help someone live independently?

I’m seeking dependable and compassionate individuals to join my support team as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) / Personal Assistant.

This is not your typical sit-around-the-house caregiving job. I enjoy staying active, getting out in the community, exploring new places, and occasionally traveling - so this position is perfect for someone who prefers being out and about rather than sitting still all day.

Pay

• $26/hour while I am awake
• $21/hour while I am asleep
• Payroll is managed through Seven Counties

About Me

I am an adult living with cerebral palsy and legal blindness, but I value my independence and live a very active lifestyle. I enjoy getting out into the community, trying new places, and traveling when possible. If you enjoy traveling too, that’s a plus - I cover my DSP’s travel expenses when we go on trips.

Responsibilities Include (but are not limited to)

• Assisting with personal hygiene, bathing, and grooming
• Helping with meal preparation and light household tasks
• Keeping living areas tidy
• Supporting daily routines and community outings
• Driving my accessible van (no personal vehicle required)
• Providing companionship and conversation

What I'm Looking For

• No healthcare experience or certifications required - training is provided
• Reliable, patient, and willing to learn
• Comfortable assisting with personal care
• Able to safely assist with wheelchair transfers
• Valid driver’s license required

Schedule

• Monday: Open Availability
• Tuesday: 2:00pm-10:00pm
• Wednesday: Open Availability
• Thursday: 4:00pm-10:00pm
• Friday: 9:00am–1:00pm
• Saturday: 3:00pm–12:00am
• Sunday: Open availability

A Unique Benefit of This Position

This role is person-directed, meaning you work directly with me rather than through layers of management. Scheduling and communication are simple - if you need time off or schedule adjustments, you coordinate directly with me instead of going through a large agency.

Why This Job is Great

• Competitive pay
• No experience required
• Active job — not sitting around all day
• Opportunities to get out in the community
• Travel opportunities with expenses covered
• Simple communication and scheduling
• Meaningful work helping someone maintain independence
