About the role

Department for Persons with Disabilities (DPD) is seeking a Direct Support Professional/Residential Counselor to provide direct care in group homes. Responsibilities include helping residents with personal care, daily activities, and medication administration. Hours are 40 per week (Mon-Fri 8:00am-4:00pm). Paid training and a comprehensive benefits package are offered to full-time staff.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
