Description

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.

Our Rousner residence, which is conveniently located between Rosendale and New Paltz, is the home of nine amazing gentlemen.

Rousner is situated on a beautiful piece of property, bordering the woods. The men who live at Rousner LOVE being outside, especially if it involves going fishing or taking a short hike. Even on days when they would rather stay indoors, employees will join in the fun of helping the men decorate the walls of their home with colorful pictures, an enjoyable activity that takes place around the large dining table! And the warmer months provide opportunities to take some road trips - so a trip to Six Flags in Lake George might be on the agenda!

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.
