Who we are:

At Dungarvin, we are more than a provider of support services—we’re a mission-driven team rooted in respect, response and choice. Since 1976, we’ve been dedicated to meeting people where they are - providing person-centered supports that allow individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and/or complex medical needs to live as independently as possible.

Our team is united by a shared commitment to making a real difference, and we encourage you to embrace this opportunity to impact someone’s life!

Make a Difference Every Day! At Dungarvin, we do meaningful work that shapes futures. We’re looking for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to support children and teens (ages 12–21) with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our residential program.

This role calls for patience, creativity, and dedication. It isn’t just a job - it’s a chance to guide, empower, and make a lasting difference in young lives. If you’re motivated by purpose and believe in helping kids reach their potential, we’d love to meet you!
