About the Role
Schedule: Client is currently not in school, but may return in the near future. Currently needing a DSP to work weekdays 9-5pm. When they do return to school, the DSP schedule will change to 3-7pm. Family is flexible on times/days.
Description: This 17-year-old client (they/them) needs someone to give support as needed with regulation through some emotional states that can result in outbursts of anger and anxiety and depression. They’re very into history and will talk at length with DSPs about obscure topics, some of which make other people uncomfortable (misplaced sense of humor), but they can adjust when the DSP says they aren’t comfortable with certain topics. The family is flexible on scheduling depending on the DSP’s availability. They want a provider who has good chemistry with the client.
Requirements:
Must be vaccinated prior to working with client.
Must be comfortable commuting to clients home in SW Portland--use zip-code 97219 for commute reference.
Experience helping clients with mental health issues preferred but not required.
