Empowering Independence. Upholding Dignity.
At DABS, Inc., we provide comprehensive skills training and supported living services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Since 2005, we’ve been empowering individuals to lead more independent lives—through advocacy, innovation, and unwavering commitment.
We believe in showing up—especially when things get hard. Dignity is our guiding principle, and as demand for our services grows, so does our resolve to ensure every person we serve is respected, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.
Join Us as a DSP
As a Direct Support Professional, you’ll be a trusted presence in the lives of those we serve. Whether you’re helping with day-to-day tasks or supporting a new life skill, you’ll play a meaningful role in someone’s journey toward greater independence.

  • Take individuals on community outings—whether for appointments, errands, or just to enjoy the day.
  • Track and document changes in overall health and behavior to support their care.
  • Assist with medication reminders or administration when needed.
  • Work collaboratively with a team of professionals to ensure comprehensive support.
What You Bring
  • A caring heart and a commitment to helping others live with dignity and independence.
  • Reliable transportation to and from work.
  • A valid driver’s license, personal vehicle, and insurance.
  • Willingness to undergo a state and federal fingerprint background check.
  • CPR Certification and a recent TB test (we can help you obtain both if needed).
  • Experience with individuals with developmental disabilities is a plus—but if you bring passion and dedication, we’ll provide the training.
What We Offer
  • Starting rate of $18–$25 per hour, paid weekly
  • Full and part-time positions available – let us know what works best for you
  • Day, evening and overnight shifts available
  • Paid sick leave
  • Mileage reimbursement
  • Opportunities for growth and training
