Description:
Earn up to $1200 working just one weekend a month!
Do you love being a DSP but can't commit to a full-time schedule? Community Vision is looking to hire a highly skilled, experienced, and personable Direct Support Professional's to work one weekend a month* as an On-call Support Companion.
You will automatically earn $200 each weekend you are on-call, plus $25/hr. for any hours you are called in to work. Travel time and mileage ($.625/mile) are paid when driving between homes.
Our Support Companions always work with people one-on-one, not in groups. As the on-call Support Companion, you will be trained to provide one-on-one support for up to 15 unique individuals who live independently (and separately) across the Portland Metro area (primarily in SE & NE Portland).
On-call could mean responding to an urgent need, filling in last-minute, or covering a vacant shift with notice. You are not responsible for fielding calls from support staff, rather, you will receive calls from the Weekend Coordinator who is the first point of contact for staff.
