• access to free counseling services and on staff Success Coach (for when life gets a little overwhelming)
• incredible connections with amazing people

Through the care you’ll give, you’ll develop strong bonds with residents at Filling Homes. Coming to work can end up feeling like spending time with family.

Here’s what we need from you:

• 16 or 17 years old looking to get your start in the caregiving field
• a willingness to learn (while getting paid!)
• effective verbal and written communication and comprehension skills
• a positive and caring attitude

What Will I Do As a DSPA?

• helping residents with dining, and mobility activities
• accompanying them to run errands
• attending special community occasions and fun activities like outdoor walks, games and social events
• sitting down to talk and connect with them

Being a DSPA is interactive and active — no falling into a rut or being stuck at a desk. Every day is different at Filling Homes! Our hope is that you come here every day with something to give—and leave with stories you never want to forget.
