URGENT NEED - Direct Support Professional in West Middlesex, PA

Urgent Need for a Compassionate, Strong, and Steady Direct Support Professional

West Middlesex, PA

$18/hr

Schedule: Monday-Thursday & Saturday, 11 PM - 7 AM

Some caregiving roles ask for patience.

This one asks for heart, resilience, and unwavering commitment.

We are urgently seeking a deeply caring, mentally strong, and adaptable Direct Support Professional (DSP) to support a young woman whose daily life is shaped by high agitation, frequent seizures, and constant change. Her needs are intense, immediate, and emotionally demanding - and the right person will become a source of stability in a world that shifts for her every single day.

Why This Role Matters

She experiences extreme agitation throughout the day and night, often making distressed, uncomfortable sounds for long periods. She is not aggressive toward staff, but the emotional toll is real. This work requires mental fortitude, empathy, and the ability to stay grounded even when the shift feels heavy.

Her seizure activity has increased significantly, bringing unpredictability - what works today may not work tomorrow. She needs someone who can adapt, think creatively, and meet her where she is, moment by moment.

Above all, she needs someone who genuinely cares.

What You'll Be Doing

You will provide 1:1 care in her family home, where she lives with her sister, grandmother, and nephew. The home has one dog and one cat.

Your support will include:

• Full supervision

• Assistance with showers, eating, and medication management

• Helping her walk with assistance and providing lifting support (no adaptive equipment available)

• Transporting her in her wheelchair when needed

• Being a calm, steady presence during periods of high agitation

• Adjusting to constant changes with patience and creativity

She is non-verbal but often happy - and she depends on the people around her to help her feel safe, understood, and supported.

Who We Need

Someone who is:

• Emotionally strong and steady through long periods of agitation

• Caring and patient, even on the hardest days

• Adaptable, because her needs shift constantly

• Creative and willing to try new approaches

• Consistent - stability is everything

• Comfortable with lifting

• Committed to true 1:1 support

This is not an easy role.

But for the right person, it is profoundly meaningful.
