Job Description

PCGH, INC.

ENHANCING LIVES   |   PROMOTING INDEPENDENCE

Direct Support Professional (DSP)

ICF Residential | 2nd Shift

Full-Time   |   Set Schedule   |   36 Hours/Week

This is the kind of DSP role where noticing the small things can be a very big deal.

PCGH is hiring a full-time Direct Support Professional for one of our Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) residential programs. The adults supported in our ICF homes have some of the most significant medical and personal-care needs within the agency, so this position involves real, hands-on support and close attention to each person's health, comfort and daily routine.

You do not need to be a nurse to do this work. You do need to be dependable, observant, comfortable providing personal care and willing to learn the details that help each person stay safe and well.

A consistent schedule

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday: 3:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.

Every other Saturday and Sunday: 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.

36 scheduled hours per workweek

Opportunities to pick up additional hours may also be available for employees who want them.

Starting Pay: $14.00+ per hour 
Higher starting rates may be available based on experience and placement. 

What does "ICF" mean for the DSP?

It means the people you support may have more involved medical, mobility and personal-care needs than residents in some of our other programs. You'll work closely with nursing, clinical staff and your DSP team while following detailed care instructions, physician orders and individualized support plans.

The work is hands-on

• Provide personal care, hygiene assistance and support with daily routines
• Assist with mobility, positioning, transfers and other physical support based on individual needs
• Administer medications and treatments after completing required training and certification
• Follow physician orders, care instructions and Individual Service Plans
• Monitor for changes in health, behavior, appetite, mobility or overall condition and communicate concerns promptly
• Support meals, activities, appointments and other parts of everyday life
• Complete required documentation accurately and on time
• Work closely with incoming staff, nursing and clinical team members to keep care consistent from one shift to the next

A scheduled end time is not an automatic departure time. 

In residential care, the handoff is part of the shift. Staff remain responsible for coverage until relief has arrived and important updates, changes or concerns have been clearly communicated. Most days follow the schedule as expected, but the needs of the people we support come first.

Who tends to do well here?

Someone who pays attention, follows through and understands that good direct care is often found in details that are easy to miss. Someone who can work confidently as part of a team, communicate when something changes and stay steady when a person needs more support than expected.

Previous experience in ICF services, healthcare, assisted living, long-term care, disability services, CNA work or another hands-on caregiving setting is helpful, but it is not required. PCGH provides paid training and required certifications.

Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalent , be legally eligible to drive in North Carolina and be willing to drive an agency vehicle when needed.

The position requires the ability to lift up to 35 pounds independently and assist with transfers of individuals weighing up to 250 pounds.

Full-time at PCGH also includes:

• Health, dental and vision insurance options
• Paid time off (PTO)
• Paid training and required certifications
• 403(b) retirement savings plan
• Opportunities for additional training and advancement
• Opportunities to pick up additional hours when available

PCGH, Inc. has supported adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries in Person County since 1975. Our ICF staff provide the consistent, skilled day-to-day support that allows people with significant needs to live in a real home and receive individualized care around the clock.

If you're comfortable with hands-on care, pay attention to the details and want a set schedule where the work has an obvious purpose, we'd like to hear from you.
