Flexible Schedules | Weekly Pay | Paid Training | Growth Opportunities | Team Environment

Abound Health is hiring Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to support an individual who is preparing to transition into her own apartment in the Macungie area. This role is focused on building independence, supporting daily routines, and helping her navigate adult life — not hands-on caregiving. We are seeking 2–3 part-time DSPs to share a 7-day schedule and provide consistent, reliable support.

The ideal DSPs will have strong communication skills, speak English as their primary language, and enjoy teaching life skills, supporting community engagement, and empowering individuals to live independently.

Abound Health is a mission-driven company that has been operating in the I/DD space for over 20 years.

• Support community participation, employment, and social activities
• Encourage independence and help individuals develop new skills
• Provide transportation as needed, including weekday pickups from Whitehall
• Monitor health and safety while maintaining a supportive environment
• Communicate with Abound team members, families, and external parties
• Complete documentation and maintain schedules
• Participate in ongoing training and professional development
