If you've been looking to change your career path or want to get involved in health care. This is the job for you!!! Most employers don't encourage fun, but at The Access Program we do. We want to see our clients enjoy themselves and you can make that happen. See below for a brief description of the job along with some detail about the open positions:
We are looking for a couple of motivated Direct Support Professionals to work in a PRN status. PRN for our company would mean you tell us what hours and days you are available, and we give you as many hours as possible within those limits. We prefer you are able to work within the limits of our scheduled shifts which are normally 7a-7p and 7p-7a. We provide care to the majority of our persons served 24/7 therefore the majority of our shifts are 12 hours however there are some deviations to that in some circumstances.
Our main need is for employees that can be available at a moment's notice for call-offs and work as our full-time and part-time employees request time off. The goal for anyone we interview and place in this position would be to move into a part-time or full-time position when/if one comes available and that is determined by hard work, determination, and the amount of shifts you are able to pick-up.
Set up an interview so you can join our team!!!
Our Direct Support Staff works with individuals/clients that are Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled, as well as physical disabilities. You would encourage the clients to become as independent as possible by choosing activities of interest that includes integrating them into the community, from scenic drives to visit parks, or friends and even vacationing with them.
You will complete all duties related to the Individual Service Plan by assisting with activities of daily living such as personal hygiene, promoting healthy eating, accompanying to doctor appointments, assisting with medication administration, upon certification, assisting with household chores, shopping and completing and maintaining all paperwork in a timely manner along with reporting any issues to management all while maintaining a professional attitude and appearance.
