Remote Direct Support Professional: Empower Lives from Your Living Room

Join Horizon Care Collective as a remote Direct Support Professional, providing vital, tech-enabled assistance to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This full-time work-from-home role blends compassionate care with flexible independence, allowing you to build a meaningful career in human services without a daily commute—all while helping clients thrive in their own homes and communities.

Why This Remote Role Matters

About the Role

In traditional settings, Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are the backbone of daily life for those they serve. Our remote model innovates on that foundation, using secure telehealth platforms to deliver personalized support, skill-building, and advocacy. You’ll become a trusted partner to clients, helping them navigate everything from medication management and budgeting to social engagement and community access—all through virtual means. This isn’t just a job; it’s a mission to increase independence and quality of life, powered by technology and human connection. You’ll work as part of a collaborative, distributed team, receiving ongoing support while enjoying the autonomy of a home-based schedule.

What You’ll Do Each Day

Key Responsibilities

Your days will be dynamic and rewarding, centered on proactive, virtual engagement:

• Conduct daily video check-ins to monitor health, emotional well-being, and safety.
• Facilitate virtual skill-development sessions (e.g., cooking tutorials, financial literacy, job coaching).
• Coordinate with families, nurses, and therapists via telehealth to implement individualized support plans.
• Maintain meticulous, real-time electronic health records (EHR) and incident reports.
• Provide crisis intervention and de-escalation support through immediate video availability.
• Assist with telehealth appointment scheduling and preparation for clients.
• Participate in daily team huddles and weekly case reviews via video conference.

You’ll be equipped with our proprietary care platform, ensuring seamless, HIPAA-compliant communication and documentation.

Competitive Compensation

Salary Range

We value the critical work you do. The salary for this position is $38,000 – $52,000 USD/year, determined by your prior experience, certifications (such as CPR/First Aid or DSP certification), and proven aptitude for remote support. This range aligns with industry standards for remote DSP roles, adjusted for the cost-saving benefits of a home office and our commitment to equitable pay.
