Direct Support Professional - Community-Based

MERT Enterprises, Inc. has openings for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) in Greater Bangor, for part-time Community-Based positions providing you with a fixed-shift each week. Hours are primarily from 2:00pm-10:00 p.m. on weekdays and the weekend and there are no overnights. The shifts range from 4 to 12 hours so you can customize an alternate work schedule to fit your needs. You work with one adult consumer who has a variety of Intellectual, Physical and Mental Health disabilities and Autism. Our DSPs provide a supportive environment to our consumers to live as independently as possible in their own homes and communities by teaching and role modeling in a casual work environment. Typical DSP duties could include toileting, bathing, dressing, assisting with preparing and serving meals, administering medications, household cleaning, money use, grocery shopping and driving the consumer to and from their job or day program, taking them to doctor appointments, attending recreational and social activities in the Bangor area and supporting them with their participation in Special Olympics practices and events locally and statewide. You will have the same Community-Based schedule every week while providing support to the same consumer.
