Founded in 1980, The MENTOR Network is a national network of local human services providers offering an array of quality, community-based services in more than 30 states to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, brain and spinal cord injuries and other catastrophic injuries and illnesses, and to youth with emotional, behavioral and medically complex challenges as well as their families.

Every person needs the support of others, but we look for very special people to support individuals with developmental disabilities. As a Direct Support Professional (DSP) with REM OHIO you’ll be one of those exceptional care givers.

DSP home care providers are also the link to the community for the DD individuals 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 OHIO 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 direct care staff who provide this rewarding care giving support, play an integral and crucial role in the success of our organization.

To that end, the DSP also happens to be one of the best places to start in our company with a myriad of career options to move up and across the organization. We in fact have many success stories from people at all levels that started out in this direct care role.

Whether you have previous experience in the DD field, Social Services, or this just sounds like the type of career path you would like to pursue…we want to hear from you!
