WHO ARE WE?
Strategies to Empower People is a 100% employee-owned company that operates in the Greater Sacramento area! We have been providing services to adults with Intellectual and / or Developmental Disabilities (I / DD) since 1994 and are the largest provider of our type in the area!
We believe that every moment has potential, and we work tirelessly to ensure the people we serve are given every opportunity to be as independent as possible in their homes and in their communities.
No two people we serve are alike so we are looking for employees who are adaptive, creative, and who thrive on the success of others!
WHAT IS THE JOB?
Direct Support Professionals work one-on-one with an adult who has an Intellectual and / or Developmental Disability. The clients we support live in their own homes - no group homes, and no locked facilities!
The DSPs job is to provide direction and hands-on support with any and all needs our clients have, but the DSP is not a butler! The goal is for our clients to engage in all parts of their lives, and the DSP is responsible for making sure that even though our clients may need someone to help them with eating, cleaning, bathing, or toileting, that they themselves are still taking part in those activities!
SCHEDULE
Direct Support Professionals are hired with specific set schedules, which makes planning the rest of your life around work easier! The people we support need 24 / 7 care so we have a variety of both part-time and full-time schedules.
During our interview process we discuss applicant availability and assess where best to consider someone based on numerous factors.
The rate of pay for asleep nocturnal hours is $15.50 per hour. The rate of pay for awake hours is $17.50 per hour.
Some of the individuals we support receive In-Home Support Services hours (IHSS), which may be assigned to staff working at Strategies to Empower People.
IHSS is a separate company with their own pay rate based on county : Sacramento County is $17 per hour, Yuba County is $16.
65 per hour, Sutter County is $16.40 per hour, and Placer County is $17.60 per hour.
LOCATION
Our DSPs provide support in the Greater Sacramento area. Direct Support Professionals work in the home and in the community of the person they're supporting, so the work is done.
where our clients live and play! Often times the job will take our staff and their clients outside of the home and community : Client has a goal of going to a comedy club?
Today we're working in Old Sacramento! Client wants to visit the Farmer's Market? Today we're on the bus headed for Midtown!
JOB REQUIREMENTS
Our Direct Support Position is entry-level which means you don't need experience in order to be considered for it! While a background in caregiving and direct care work is definitely a plus we provide comprehensive training for all of our new hires so everyone has the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.
Many of the people we serve require their staff to support them with transportation, which means some roles require valid California Driver License, current auto insurance, and clean & reliable vehicle.
Driving isn't a requirement of every position, but it plays a part in assessing placement.
WHY WORK HERE?
Aside from being a 100% employee owned company, Strategies to Empower People has a lot of additional benefits for our employees!
Full-time employees are eligible for medical, dental, vision, as well as vacation accrual after a six-month waiting period! Interested in planning for retirement?
We have a matching 401k plan for employees! We also provide mileage reimbursement ($.685 per mile), an Employee Assistant Program, sick time accrual, and more!
