Same skills. Different setting. Better schedule.

Already working as a Direct Support Professional, RBT, Behavior Technician, Paraprofessional, Job Coach, Respite Provider, Caregiver, or other human services professional?

Your experience can transfer directly into Dungarvin.  

Our Day Program is an active, hands-on setting where you'll teach life skills, lead activities, support behaviors and personal care, get into the community, and help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities build greater independence.

This is not residential care. There are no overnight shifts and no weekend shifts.

You may spend part of the day leading a cooking or art activity, helping someone practice communication or money-management skills, supporting a community outing, providing personal care, or helping someone work through a behavioral challenge.

Relevant hands-on experience preferred.

Job Description

What You'll Actually Do:

• Lead cooking, art, music, recreation, and life-skills activities
• Teach and reinforce skills that build greater independence
• Support community outings and volunteer activities
• Provide personal care, including restroom, hygiene, eating, and mobility support
• Provide behavioral support and use trained de-escalation techniques
• Support individuals with different communication needs, including nonverbal communication
• Follow individualized support and behavior plans
• Drive company vehicles for outings and community activities
• Complete accurate electronic documentation
• Prepare, clean, and reset program areas
• Work closely with your team to maintain a safe, positive, and consistent environment

Our Day Program is built around engagement. DSPs actively participate, encourage individuals, adapt activities when needed, and help each person participate at their own ability level.

Strong DSPs stay calm, pay attention, take initiative, communicate with their team, accept feedback, and adjust when something isn't working. They understand that supporting independence means coaching someone through a task instead of automatically doing it for them.

If that sounds familiar, you'll understand this job.

Experience Matters Here:

We're looking for candidates who already have experience supporting people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, behavioral needs, personal care needs, or similar support needs.

Relevant experience may include work as a:

Direct Support Professional (DSP), Behavior Technician, Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), Paraprofessional, Teacher's Aide, Respite Provider, Community Support Worker, Job Coach, Employment Specialist, or similar human services professional.

Your experience may come from a Day Program, group home, residential setting, school, behavioral program, respite services, employment services, or community-based program.

Experience with intellectual and developmental disabilities, behavioral support, life-skills training, personal care, nonverbal communication, or community-based services is especially valuable.
