Do you love being on the go, out in the community, and making a difference? At Croyle-Nielsen Therapeutic Associates (C-NTA), we’re a team of compassionate, fun-loving people making a positive impact! We believe everyone deserves to live their best life — and we’re looking for caring, creative, and outgoing people to help make that happen! As a Community Participation Support Direct Support Professional (CPS DSP), you’ll spend your days helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities explore their interests, connect with their community, and achieve personal goals — all while having fun along the way. No two days are the same — one day might be volunteering, visiting a museum, or going for a walk in the park; the next, helping someone learn new life skills or try something brand new.
