DHSS logo

Skilled, compassionate care for people with disabilities.

DSPs help people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities to access services they need to thrive in the community. The roles and responsibilities of DSPs are varied. On any given day, they can solve problems, administer medication, provide treatment, teach new skills, and even perform behavioral assessments and crisis interventions. Most importantly, they are caretakers, support systems, and friends

Apply through any of the approved providers listed at https://dhss.delaware.gov/ddds/dsp.html.  Each provider has their own job openings so you may want to check all of them.

DAD Note:  There may be ASL DSP positions also.  DHSS also requested that we share the DSP openings through a local deaf advocacy group.

Part Time Job Opportunity in Sussex/Kent County

Email Message from Pamela A. D’Occhio:
 
Good afternoon 

 
We are excited to share that we have secured a contract with DDDS (Delaware Division of Developmental Disabilities Services) to provide support through the Enhanced Communication Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to reduce language deprivation and increase quality of care and life experiences in group homes where individuals who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing/Deafblind reside. 
 
We are looking to recruit an individual in the Sussex County area who is interested in supporting this initiative. Candidates who are interested would be required to conduct site visits to either homes or day program locations. This is a contracted position (1099). The introductory hours have some flexibility and range between two and four hours with the possibility of increasing.  This contracted position includes mileage reimbursement.
 
Please direct anyone interested in this very part time position to contact us via email. We thank you for your interest and support. 
 
Very Truly Yours,
Pamela A. D’Occhio
Director 
Enhanced Communication Initiative
