A Little About Us:

We are dedicated to providing quality support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Alternative Services - Oregon, Inc. (ASI-OR) has one goal in mind: Supporting People to Experience Meaningful Lives.

A Day in the Life of a Direct Support Professional (DSP):

As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), your afternoon shift kicks off with a warm greeting to the people you support, where catching up on their day feels like catching up with family. The excitement unfolds as you head out for delightful excursions-whether it's a stroll through the park, a fun trip to the store, or indulging in ice cream. Once back at the house, you'll dive into making dinner together, sharing laughs around the table, and enjoying favorite evening activities, from watching shows to engaging in friendly games. As the night winds down, you'll support in routine evening routines and light housekeeping.

You leave each day knowing you've brightened someone's life while having an absolute blast doing it!

What Matters Most:

To thrive as a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you'll need a mix of essential skills that will help you make an impact:

A solid understanding of supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) is crucial, along with a keen awareness of health, safety, and emergency procedures. Familiarity with personal care and daily living assistance, as well as a grasp of confidentiality and professional boundaries, ensures a respectful and person-centered environment.

Communication skills are vital; you should be able to listen actively, speak clearly, and document accurately. Building trust and positive relationships through strong interpersonal skills is also key, as is the ability to solve problems calmly and adapt to surprises. Balancing multiple tasks requires excellent time management, while effective teamwork and the capability to work independently are equally important.

Lastly, a valid driver's license and physical ability to assist with daily activities make for a well-rounded DSP who can support individuals in their journey to independence.

Additional knowledge and skills:

  • Understanding of confidentiality and person-centered supports
  • General knowledge of community resources and activities
  • Able to listen, speak clearly, and document accurately
  • Build trust, patience, and positive relationships
  • Problem solving and time management skills
  • Collaborate effectively with coworkers, families, and supervisors
  • Hold a valid driver's license with a safe driving record to transport individuals safely
  • Assist with daily activities, household tasks, and occasional lifting/mobility support
