Direct Support Professional - Caldwell
Direct Care Worker Job 48 miles from Wichita
Job Details Northfield Apartments - Caldwell, KS High School AnyDescription
Want more from your job than just a paycheck? Consider working for a place with more benefits than you expect!
DSPs are difference-makers for our adult friends and neighbors with developmental disabilities to live active and meaningful lives.
There are direct support positions everywhere, why Futures?
Local -
There's an expense associated with commuting out of the county.
Keep that extra hour of sleep, be home in time for dinner, and invest in your local and area communities at the same time.
Training -
No one wants to be thrown into a job, and we believe those we support deserve well trained staff.
Our employees get the best of Futures' 40+ years of experience as part of our in-house training. The skills our employees develop on the job are highly transferrable to advance in this, or any other, career field.
Variety -
Variety is the spice of life they say.
No two days on the job are quite the same. With an array of services and programs, Futures also has room for employees to move around and grow within the company.
Relationships
- When is a job more than a job? When it's a relationship.
We emphasize this. It's what sets us apart as a great employer and quality provider.
Stability -
Lay-offs, reduction in hours, work furloughs … those should be four letter words.
Other industries wax and wane, but there has always been a demand for human services; a field expected to grow faster than most over the rest of this decade. Whether you are looking for a lifelong career or steady employment through college, Futures Unlimited has been a constant since 1976.
Benefits -
We will care for you while you are caring for others.
Futures offers a great benefit package to meet your needs.
We're looking for a great fit, not a warm body.
Personable -
Technical skills can be taught on the job, but personality cannot.
Do you greet strangers? Have friends told you you're a good listener? We're looking for folks who are approachable-the kind older folks at the grocery store stop and talk to.
Stick-to-it-iveness -
Job-hoppers need not apply.
Relationships must be built, and good training takes time. Serious consideration is given to applicants who have demonstrated some longevity with their previous employer(s).
Futures is hiring in Caldwell for the following position:
a flexible substitute position to work on an occasional to regular basis. The potential for more hours is possible. Great employment option for college students or others desiring part-time employment with a flexible schedule.
Direct support professional positions require working with adults with disabilities in a home setting. This position provides training and support for basic life skills that promote independence. That support may range from hands-on assistance, to detailed instruction, or simply a high five for encouragement.
Starting wage is $16.00/hr.
Work location:
Northfield Apartments in Caldwell
Work Schedule:
Evenings, weekends and holidays.
Take the first step in beginning your rewarding career at Futures Unlimited, Inc. by applying today.
