Our Service Providers

Join our team at Transitional Living Centers and help us show the community how important Direct Support Professionals (DSP) are as they assist individuals with disabilities to live their best lives. At TLC you will have the opportunity to work with individuals with a wide range of ages, abilities and interests. We are looking for amazing staff members who will help our individuals truly become a part of the community in Medina County by developing meaningful relationships and experiences for them outside of their homes.

We are looking for innovative staff who want to express creativity through their work, act as advocates for all individuals with intellectual disabilities and create your own best life while helping individuals create theirs. If you have ever considered working in a rewarding field, caring for individuals, we encourage you to apply today.

Responsibilities:

Assist individuals with all aspects of their lives, from helping them pick out the decorations for the living room to helping them to cook dinner for their housemates

DSPs will support the individuals to be as independent as possible

Many of the individuals living at TLC do not use spoken language as their mode of communication so our DSPs need to be patient, active listeners, who are able to interpret the actions, rather than the words, of the individuals being supported

Think outside the box and work together with other staff to develop a plan that balances the needs of the individuals while encouraging independence

Work Schedule:

Full time, 32+ hours per week
