Direct Support Professional II - Children's Congregate Care

Crotched Mountain School, a Program of Seven Hills Foundation

Location: Greenfield, NH

New Hire Sign-on Bonus: $2,000 / $20.50 Per Hour

Imagine walking into a place where every day is different, every small win is a big celebration, and every moment matters. You are the reason a student learns a new skill for the first time. You help create a space where students feel safe, seen, and capable of more than they ever thought possible.

Now imagine this is your career...a meaningful, rewarding position that creates opportunities for students with severe neurodevelopmental disabilities to build life-changing skills.


About Crotched Mountain School...

Nestled in the beautiful Monadnock region of New Hampshire, Crotched Mountain School offers a therapeutic and adventure-based environment for learners. Our expansive campus features hiking trails, lakes, an Olympic-sized pool, a media center, a bowling alley, and a panoramic library — all designed to help students grow socially, academically, and emotionally.

Over the past three years, Seven Hills has been revitalizing this historic program: expanding services, welcoming new students, and building a passionate team of clinicians, educators, and caregivers who make extraordinary things possible for youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities.


The Role...

As a DSP II at Crotched Mountain School (CMS), you will support students in a residential setting, helping them build independence through structured routines, skill-building activities, and daily living support. 


What You’ll Do...

  • Assist student residents with daily routines, including hygiene, dressing, and personal care
  • Support students in a respectful, dignified manner, fostering a positive, supportive environment
  • Help maintain a clean, organized household environment
  • Align residential services with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and Individual Learning Plans (ILPs)
  • Plan and supervise activities tailored to each student’s abilities and interests
  • Support participation in structured programs and daily schedules
  • Advocate for and protect student rights in accordance with policies and procedures
  • Maintain professional and respectful communication with families, guardians, and team members
  • Work closely with a multidisciplinary team to implement individualized care plans
  • Attend meetings, trainings, and behavior support sessions
  • Provide guidance, assistance, or mentorship to newer staff as needed
  • Complete all required documentation, data collection, and record-keeping accurately and on time
  • Follow all safety, program, and regulatory guidelines

What to Expect as a Direct Support Professional II at CMS (The Real, Important Part)...

This role is equal parts heartwarming, fast-paced, and “did that really just happen?” We believe in being upfront—this job will challenge you, grow you, and create memories that will last a lifetime.


  • A lively environment: Our campus can be busy and sometimes loud— think less “library vibes” and more “organized chaos with a purpose.” We don’t do “dull moments” here at CMS!
  • Supporting complex behaviors: Some students communicate through behaviors, including aggression or attempts to leave the area. You’ll be trained to respond safely and effectively, with consistent team support and clear plans in place.
  • A wide range of students: You’ll work with everyone from fast-moving elementary students to teens and young adults. The role can be physically demanding, so staying engaged, aware, and ready to move is essential.
  • Hands-on care (ADLs): You’ll assist with personal care and daily living needs—meaningful, essential work that requires compassion, respect, and adaptability.
  • Residential schedule: In this residential setting, you’ll support students in group homes, including during holidays, snow days, and school breaks. (Don’t worry, holidays are paid extra and we do our best to work with you to get your most valued holidays off.


What You Bring...

  • At least 21 years of age
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Comfort supporting individuals with significant needs and behaviors
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and remain active throughout the day

Plus ONE of the following:

  • 2 years (3,000 hours) of verifiable experience working directly with children or adults in a similar setting,
  • OR being the parent and full-time caregiver of a child age 7 or older,
  • OR having an Associate degree or higher with at least 12 credits in a related field (education, psychology, sociology, human services, etc.)

Schedule (Several Schedule Options – Your Choice!)...

  • 2nd Shift Front-End, Sunday 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM & Monday – Friday 2:00pm – 10:00pm
  • 2nd Shift Back-End, Wednesday – Friday 2:00pm –10:00pm & Saturday 7:00am – 10:00pm

  • Weekend Doubles, Saturday & Sunday 7:00am – 10:00pm & your choice of Monday or Friday 2:00pm – 10:00pm

Your Seven Hills Benefits...

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • 403(b) retirement plan with company match of 25-33% based on years of service
