The Direct Support Professional (DSP) provides support and skills training to people with developmental and intellectual disabilities in a residential setting and within the community.

Motivation, patience and ambition are just a few of the qualities we look for in staff, who will support the fun and self-willed men and women who reside at the McGiffert residence.  The house, which is located in the town of Catskill, has a beautiful backyard view of a bird sanctuary, which is only a short walk away.

A high school diploma or GED is desired.  Post-high-school education in Human Services is a definite plus.  An acceptable NYS driver's license and basic computer knowledge are a must.  An informative, paid new hire orientation is provided in a comfortable learning environment.  Training will also include Van Certification, SCIP, First Aid/CPR, and Medication Administration certification.
