We’re seeking dedicated Day Program Professionals to support individuals in achieving their personal goals through engaging activities, skill building, and community integration. This is more than a job — it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact every single day.

What Can I Expect as a Day Program Professional?

  • Provide direct coaching to help individuals build independence in daily living skills
  • Ensure health, safety, and dignity of participants during program, outings, and transport
  • Support personal care needs and administer medications (after training)
  • Accurately complete documentation and incident reports in electronic systems
  • Practice safe crisis prevention and intervention strategies
  • Promote inclusion and positive community awareness
  • Provide safe transportation and supervise participants in community settings

What We’re Looking For :

  • Compassionate and patient, with a genuine passion for supporting individuals with disabilities
  • Reliable, dependable, and committed to participant well-being
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Willingness to learn — paid training provided, including CPR, medication administration, and crisis prevention
  • Ability to meet physical requirements (lifting, standing, assisting with transfers, and driving program vehicles)
  • What We Offer :

  • Competitive Pay & Benefits (medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k with employer match)
  • DailyPay – make any day a payday!
  • Paid Training and annual in-service development
  • Advancement Opportunities through our LEAP Leadership Program
  • A mission-driven culture where your work has purpose and impact
  • Qualifications :

  • High school diploma or GED required ; prior experience in human services preferred but not required
  • Must be at least 18 years of age with a valid driver’s license
  • Ability to pass background checks and required health screenings
  • Ability to read, write, and communicate effectively in English and complete documentation
  • Why Beacon?

    At Beacon, we don’t just offer jobs — we offer fulfilling careers. As a Day Program Professional, you’ll join a team that values compassion, teamwork, and growth. Every day you’ll have the chance to empower individuals to live fuller, more independent lives.

    Beacon Specialized Living Services is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
