Support Stability. Encourage Independence.

Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board (H-NNCSB) is hiring a Part-Time Direct Support Professional (DSP) for our MH Regional Supervised Housing (RSH) Program. This residential behavioral health position supports adults with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) as they strengthen daily living skills, maintain stability, and increase independence in the community.

What You'll Do

You'll encourage individuals to engage in behavioral health, medical, and other services based on their needs and goals. Support may also include helping individuals participate in community programs, vocational services, volunteer opportunities, or employment.

You'll monitor behavioral and emotional well-being, recognize and report significant changes, complete accurate documentation, and communicate with supervisors, clinicians, and other members of the support team.

Most importantly, you'll encourage individuals to make choices, use their strengths, develop skills, and take an active role in their daily lives.
