<a href="https://wehired.agency/jobs/" style="color:var(--primary-color); font-weight:600;">Remote</a> Direct Support Professional – Work from Home – Make a Difference Today

Are you passionate about empowering individuals with developmental disabilities while enjoying the flexibility of a fully remote career? Our client, a leading national provider of home‑based support services, is seeking caring professionals to deliver high‑quality, person‑centered care from anywhere in the United States.

Salary Range

Competitive hourly wage equivalent to $45,000 – $65,000 USD per year, based on experience, certifications, and hours worked. Additional performance bonuses and overtime opportunities are available.

About the Role

The Remote Direct Support Professional (DSP) serves as a virtual advocate and coordinator for adults and youth with developmental disabilities. While you will not be providing in‑person care, you will:

  • Conduct daily virtual check‑ins via video call to assess well‑being, medication adherence, and activity participation.
  • Develop and update individualized support plans in collaboration with on‑site staff and families.
  • Facilitate remote skill‑building sessions (e.g., communication, daily living, social interaction) using adaptive technology.
  • Document progress, incidents, and outcomes in the organization’s secure electronic health record (EHR) system.
  • Serve as a liaison between clients, families, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless service delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain a reliable home office setup with high‑speed internet, webcam, and headset.
  • Provide timely, compassionate response to client inquiries and crisis situations, following established protocols.
  • Participate in weekly virtual team meetings, case reviews, and ongoing training sessions.
  • Promote independence by encouraging clients to set personal goals and celebrate achievements.
  • Ensure compliance with state and federal regulations, including HIPAA and ADA standards.

Requirements

  • High school diploma or GED; Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Human Services, Psychology, or related field preferred.
  • Minimum 1‑year experience supporting individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities (in‑person or remote).
  • Certification as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) or willingness to obtain state‑required certification within 90 days.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills; ability to build rapport through virtual platforms.
  • Proficiency with video‑conferencing tools (Zoom, Microsoft Teams) and basic EHR documentation.
  • Reliable high‑speed internet (minimum 25 Mbps download) and a private, quiet workspace.
  • Background check, drug screening, and clearance to work with vulnerable populations.

Benefits

  • Fully Remote – Work from any U.S. location with a stable internet connection.
  • Flexible scheduling (part‑time, full‑time, or per‑diem) to accommodate personal commitments.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
  • Paid time off, holidays, and sick leave.
  • Professional development stipend for certifications, webinars, and continuing education.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health and wellness support.
  • Opportunities for career advancement into supervisory or case‑management roles.

Why This Remote Position Stands Out

Working as a Remote Direct Support Professional allows you to blend your passion for service with the freedom of a home‑based career. You’ll be part of a purpose‑driven organization that values diversity, inclusivity, and continuous learning. Our technology platform is designed to make virtual support seamless, enabling you to focus on what matters most—building meaningful connections and fostering independence for the people you serve.

How to Apply

If you are ready to make a real impact while enjoying the flexibility of remote work, submit your resume and a brief cover letter highlighting your relevant experience to the hiring manager’s email address provided in the posting. Qualified candidates will be contacted for a virtual interview within two weeks of application.
