Residential Support Professional - Summer Internship
Residential Support Professionals (RSPs) make it possible for people with disabilities to live in a TILL home with other people with similar needs. Our residential homes feel like home and are each unique. There are four to five residents per home, and residents typically spend their day at a day program, and some work or volunteer. RSPs staff the home to assist residents with daily living tasks, such as getting ready for the day and preparing meals. TILL is committed to helping everyone we support live an active life, connected to activities, people and the community. We operate 68 residential homes in Boston, Metro West, the South Shore, the North Shore and Merrimack Valley - and will work to place you in a residence convenient to you.
