Energetic Community Supports Direct Support Professional

MVRA is looking for an energetic, outdoors-oriented Direct Support Professional to join our Community Supports Program. This is not a desk job — we're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys staying active, being out in the community, and creating meaningful experiences for others. The ideal candidate is someone who loves activities like hiking, fishing, camping, trail walking, attending sporting events, and finding creative ways to keep people engaged and involved. You'll support individuals with intellectual disabilities in building confidence, independence, friendships, and healthy active lifestyles through hands-on community experiences and recreational activities. A major part of this role includes helping organize, support, and coach the All Stars Special Olympics team in a variety of sports throughout the year. We're looking for someone who brings enthusiasm, leadership, creativity, and organization to practices, competitions, team events, and community activities. This role is also perfect for someone who enjoys thinking outside the box — planning group activities, organizing community outings, and helping coordinate creative fundraising events that bring people together and support program opportunities.
