Full-Time & Part-Time Opportunities | Flexible Scheduling | Immediate Openings

Looking for more than just another caregiving job?

At Inspire Home and Health, we support adults with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities in living more active, independent, and meaningful lives.

We are growing throughout Chester County and are looking for energetic, dependable people who genuinely enjoy helping others.

You do not need to have worked as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) before.

If you have experience in autism support, behavioral health, education, special education, childcare, healthcare, CNA work, caregiving, coaching, mental health, or working with individuals with disabilities, we would love to speak with you.

This Is Not Your Typical Caregiving Position

Many of the individuals we support want to get out of the house and be active in their communities.

Your day could include:

  • Going to the YMCA or gym
  • Bowling, basketball, walking, or exercising
  • Going to libraries, community events, classes, or local activities
  • Cooking and working on meal preparation
  • Practicing communication and social skills
  • Working on budgeting, shopping, and other life skills
  • Helping someone explore volunteer or employment opportunities
  • Building routines and greater independence
  • Supporting individuals with autism or intellectual disabilities with their personal goals

Our goal isn't simply to "fill hours." We want our staff to engage, motivate, and make a meaningful impact on the individuals they support.

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for people who are:

  • Dependable and consistent
  • Patient, positive, and compassionate
  • Comfortable working 1:1 with adults with autism or intellectual disabilities
  • Energetic and willing to participate in community activities
  • Strong communicators
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Able to build relationships and establish trust
  • Willing to help individuals become more independent rather than simply doing things for them

Experience That Transfers Well

  • Direct Support Professional (DSP)
  • Behavioral Health Technician (BHT)
  • Autism Support Professional
  • Paraprofessional
  • Special Education Aide
  • CNA

  • Caregiver
  • Mental Health Technician
  • Community Support Professional
  • Life Skills Coach
  • Job Coach
  • Youth Support Professional

College students and recent graduates in psychology, social work, education, special education, behavioral health, occupational therapy, sociology, exercise science, or related fields are also encouraged to apply.

About Inspire Home and Health

Inspire Home and Health was founded with a simple belief: individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities deserve more than someone simply showing up for a shift.

They deserve people who are engaged, dependable, and genuinely interested in helping them experience more of what their communities have to offer.

We focus heavily on community engagement, independence, consistency, and building meaningful relationships.

If you're looking for work where you can have fun, stay active, and actually make a difference in someone's life, we'd love to hear from you.
