    Are you looking for meaningful part-time work where your presence truly matters? We’re seeking a compassionate, reliable Direct Support Staff member to support a young woman as she builds independence, confidence, and community connections—all while enjoying flexible daytime hours.

    The Opportunity

    In this 1:1 role, you’ll support a vibrant young woman on her path toward greater independence and social inclusion. Together, you’ll navigate everyday activities such as exercising, shopping, exploring the community, and building friendships.

    She has a variety of interests, including cats, holistic wellness practices, crystal healing and metaphysical exploration, and simply enjoying life and having fun. This role is ideal for someone who is open-minded, encouraging, and enjoys connecting over shared interests while gently supporting skill-building and growth.

    Schedule: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. (flexible)

    Empowerment: Make a meaningful impact by fostering independence, confidence, and community engagement.

    Creative & Dynamic: Use creativity and problem-solving skills to support independent living and daily living skills in real-world settings.

    Purpose-Driven Work: Be part of a supportive team dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and mental health needs.

    Who We’re Looking For

    You’re kind, dependable, and passionate about helping others thrive. If you have experience as a TSS, PCA, or in a similar support role—and you enjoy thinking creatively and working one-on-one—this could be a great fit.
