Are you looking for a meaningful part-time job during the day where you can make a real difference?
Join The Arc of Centre County as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) and support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in living full, independent lives at home and in the community.

Support individuals in their homes and community settings
Assist with daily living skills (cooking, hygiene, routines)
Encourage independence and personal goal achievement
Help individuals participate in community activities and social engagement
Build trusting, respectful relationships
Promote a safe, healthy, and empowering environment
No two days are the same - you might spend the day cooking a meal together, going to the park, attending community events, or helping someone build skills that increase their independence.
This role may include transporting individuals in the community. DSPs in our Community Programming:
Use their personal or agency vehicle to transport individuals to activities, appointments, and outings
Must have a valid driver's license and reliable vehicle
Flexible part-time schedule
Opportunities for career growth and advancement
Work that is fun, rewarding, and meaningful
"I do this work because it gives me joy to serve individuals and be a part of their story. Each individual inspires me every time I see them."

If that resonates with you, this could be the job for you.
Have fun. Make a difference. Achieve with Us®
