Are you passionate about empowering individuals with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges? This fully remote, home‑based role lets you deliver high‑quality support, build meaningful relationships, and grow your career—all without leaving your living room.

Salary Range

$45,000 – $65,000 USD per year (based on experience, certifications, and geographic cost‑of‑living adjustments).

About the Role

As a Remote Direct Support Professional (DSP), you will be the primary point of contact for clients who receive tele‑health and virtual daily living services. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities include:

• Monitoring progress through digital logs, video check‑ins, and outcome‑tracking software.
• Providing crisis intervention via phone or video, following established protocols and de‑escalation techniques.
• Participating in weekly virtual team meetings, case reviews, and ongoing training webinars.

The position is 100% remote; you will need a reliable high‑speed internet connection, a quiet workspace, and a webcam for video sessions.

Key Requirements

Education & Experience

• High school diploma or GED (associate’s degree in Human Services, Psychology, or related field preferred).
• Minimum 1 year of experience supporting adults or youth with developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, or chronic health issues.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to convey instructions clearly through a screen.
• Strong empathy, patience, and problem‑solving abilities.

• Comprehensive Health Package: Medical, dental, vision, and a health‑savings account.
• Professional Development: Tuition reimbursement, certification bonuses, and monthly training webinars.
• Paid Time Off: 15 vacation days, 10 sick days, and paid holidays.
• Technology Stipend: Up to $300 annually for home‑office equipment or internet upgrades.

Why This Remote Role Stands Out

Working from home eliminates commute stress, expands your candidate pool, and gives you the freedom to balance personal commitments while making a tangible difference in clients’ lives. Our agency invests heavily in virtual supervision and mentorship, ensuring you never feel isolated.

How to Succeed in This Position

1. Stay Connected: Regularly check in with supervisors, attend virtual huddles, and actively participate in community forums.
2. Document Diligently: Accurate, timely notes are essential for compliance and client outcomes.
3. Embrace Continuous Learning: Take advantage of free webinars on trauma‑informed care, positive behavior support, and tele‑health best practices.
4. Prioritize Self‑Care: Set boundaries, schedule breaks, and use the provided wellness resources.

Next Steps

If you are ready to transform lives from the comfort of your home and grow within a supportive, innovative organization, review the qualifications above and prepare your resume, a brief cover letter, and copies of any relevant certifications. Our hiring team will contact qualified candidates for a virtual interview and a short skills demonstration.
