The posting

Be Part of Someone's Everyday Life

The Arc of Ocean County is looking for dependable, compassionate Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to provide part-time support to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in residential settings in Brick Township and Toms River.

As a DSP, you'll be there for the everyday moments that help make a house a home—from preparing meals and supporting personal care to helping someone get ready for an outing, practice a new skill, or make choices about their day. Your support can help individuals maintain their independence, participate in their communities, and enjoy a meaningful life in their home.

No previous DSP experience is required. Paid on-the-job training is provided.

Position Details

Employment Type: Part-Time Locations: Brick Township, New Jersey; Toms River, New Jersey Pay: $20.70–$24.70 per hour Pay Schedule: Bi-Weekly Shift Differential: Available Overtime: Opportunities Available

Available Shifts:

  • Evening: 3:00 PM–11:00 PM
  • Overnight: 11:00 PM–9:00 AM
  • Weekend Day & Evening Shifts
  • Weekend availability is required

What You'll Do

Support Daily Residential Life

  • Assist individuals with personal care, meal preparation, medication administration, housekeeping, laundry, and other daily routines.
  • Help individuals practice everyday skills, make choices, and build greater independence.
  • Contribute to a clean, comfortable, organized, and welcoming home environment.

Make Community Participation Possible

  • Accompany and support individuals during appointments, shopping trips, recreational activities, volunteer opportunities, and other community outings.
  • Encourage opportunities for social connection and meaningful participation in the community.
  • Safely transport individuals in agency vehicles when assigned.

Provide Individualized Support

  • Tailor your assistance to each individual's goals, abilities, and specific support needs.
  • Respond to medical, behavioral, and emotional challenges in a patient, professional, and respectful manner.
  • Protect and promote each individual's dignity, privacy, and rights.

Communicate & Work as a Team

  • Complete electronic documentation accurately, including daily progress notes, medication records, and other required program records.
  • Share important information with coworkers, supervisors, families, healthcare professionals, and interdisciplinary team members.
  • Follow agency policies and residential procedures to help maintain consistent, quality services and regulatory compliance.

Why DSP Work Matters

Residential support is about more than completing a checklist of tasks. It's about getting to know the people you support and helping them have as much choice, independence, and participation in their daily lives as possible.

You might help someone learn to complete a household task, support them during a community outing, encourage them to try something new, or simply be a dependable person they can count on. Those everyday interactions can make a meaningful difference.

  • Must be at least 18 years of age.
  • High School Diploma or GED required.
  • Valid New Jersey driver's license in good standing with no more than five (5) points.
  • Ability to work independently while exercising sound judgment and professionalism.
  • Ability to perform the physical responsibilities of the position, including assisting individuals with mobility and completing household tasks as needed.
  • Demonstrated employment stability preferred, including at least one (1) year with a previous employer preferred.

Start With Training & Build Your Experience

You don't need previous DSP experience to get started. The Arc of Ocean County provides paid on-the-job training to help you develop the skills needed for residential support.

As you gain experience, you'll also have opportunities to grow your career within Residential Services and build valuable experience in the human services field.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
