Are you someone who finds joy in assisting others in reaching their goals? Do you prefer being out in the community rather than confined to a desk? Currently, we're on the lookout for Direct Support Professionals to lend support to participants in our Independent Living Services Program.

Why work with us :

  • Meaningful Mission :  Be a part of a team that's transforming lives and empowering individuals within the community.

Our Independent Living Services Program :
