DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL (DSP) - Live in, Free rent and utilities







We know that job searching can be quite the job itself, so we'll get straight to the point. We're looking for an energetic Direct Support Professional (DSP) to help us support individuals with developmental disabilities in their homes throughout the Kansas City Metropolitan area.



At CDD, a non-profit organization with over 50 years of experience, we focus on growth and development-both for the individuals we serve and our staff. Our DSP Levelling Program in partnership with MODDD offers structured pathways for professional advancement, ensuring our team members are equipped and recognized for their contributions as well as their career development.



At CDD, a Live-in Direct Support Professional makes money as a Live-In, but is rewarded with free rent and utilities! A $300 deposit for a lease is required, but can be broken out into 10 equal payments. The disadvantages are that there are no married couples, no children, no pets, and no sleepovers. A Live-In DSP must work one established full time shift, must be willing to fill in if someone were to be unable to make it, and must be present between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM on the days you work a full-time shift.
