About Us
Premier Community Supports delivers high-quality, person-centered care across in-home and community-based services—including day programs, positive behavior supports, and 24-hour residential assistance. Founded on integrity, quality, and a genuine passion for our work, our experienced team reliably delivers safe, engaging, and customized care.
We partner closely with families, guardians, case managers, and other caregivers to deeply understand individual needs and goals. Through collaborative planning and a fun, supportive environment, we empower individuals to thrive—at home and in the community.
About the Role
As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you'll make a meaningful difference in someone's life. You'll support an individual in living the life they choose—focusing on their strengths, preferences, and daily goals—by helping them gain independence and full community engagement.
Key Responsibilities
- Build a supportive, person-centered relationship with the individual and deliver care that aligns with their Individual Support Plan (ISP).
- Promote autonomy and choice: support the individual in exercising their rights and making decisions about their own life.
- Assist with daily living activities—such as bathing, dressing, and toileting as required, and help with household tasks (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, tidying).
- Collaborate with the individual, their family and the support team to enable best-possible outcomes.
- Facilitate community participation: help the individual plan and attend social, recreational and appointment-based activities based on their preferences.
- Support budgeting, shopping (groceries and other items) and meal preparation when needed.
- With appropriate training, administer medications or support medication protocols.
- Identify and report any incidents or changes in the individual's health, behavior or circumstances, and maintain required documentation in compliance with applicable regulations.
- Provide transportation (in a personal vehicle if required) for errands, community outings or appointments.
- Adapt to schedule variations (day, evening, night shifts; weekends) in order to meet the individual's needs.
Schedule & Work Environment
- Schedule varies according to the individual's needs – day, evening, night shifts and weekend availability required.
- Opportunity for overtime (with prior approval).
- Primary work setting: individual's home environment, with occasional travel to community locations.
- Physical demands may include lifting up to ~50lbs, bending, squatting, standing, walking, driving and frequent sitting, talking/hearing. Reasonable accommodations available.
What We Offer
- 401(k) plan with up to 4% employer match after 90 days
- Paid training (including CPR/First Aid and other required certifications)
- Paid Time Off (PTO) accrual for both part-time and full-time DSPs; PTO cash-out option after 1 year
- No-cost health plan for DSPs working >26 hours/pay period; dental & vision benefits for full-time DSPs after 6 months (50% employer paid)
- Regular pay dates (1st and 16th of each month)
- A fulfilling role where your contribution matters. You'll be part of a supportive team with meaningful peer and leadership relationships

What You Bring
- Required Age: Must be at least 18 years or older
