Description

Every person needs the support of others, but we look for very special people to support individuals with disabilities helping them with direct cares and emotional supports.

DSPs are the link to the community for those they serve. For some, they may be the eyes of those unable to see, or the voice for those who can’t speak. For others, they are friend, cheerleader and subtle support on the path to one’s true potential.

For REM River Bluffs and The MENTOR Network the DSP is one of the most exemplary reflections of the wonderful mission driven work we do here every day. The people that carry out this rewarding, care giving support play an integral and crucial role in the success of our organization.

Requirements:

• High school diploma or GED
• Must be 18 years of age
• Valid driver’s license in good standing
• Successful clearance of local and/or state background checks
