We are looking for a strong, compassionate Assistant Manager to help oversee operations and support individuals with developmental disabilities while guiding DSP staff. This role does require a clean driving record and a minimum of 6 years of driving experience to be insurable on the commercial insurance policy.  Working very other weekend is required. 

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is not afraid to work, coach, and lead by example.

• Physically able to assist with transfers and lift up to 25+ lbs

• Excellent communication and documentation skills

• Reliable, firm, compassionate, and able to hold staff accountable

• Available for second shift weekdays and every other weekend

Why This Role Is Different:

This is not just a “fill-in” position — you are a key leader in the home. You will help shape the culture, protect the individuals, support staff growth, and ensure high-quality care every shift.

Why Work With Us:

• Leadership opportunity with real responsibility

• Stable hours and consistent schedule

• Supportive management team

• Meaningful work that directly impacts lives

• Opportunity to grow into higher management roles

• Work with an organization that values structure, respect, and excellence

If you are confident, caring, organized, and ready to lead while still providing hands-on care, this position is for you.
