  • What We Offer :

  • DailyPay – make any day a payday!
  • Paid Training and annual in-service development

  • Why Beacon?

    At Beacon, we don’t just offer jobs — we offer fulfilling careers. As a Day Program Professional, you’ll join a team that values compassion, teamwork, and growth. Every day you’ll have the chance to empower individuals to live fuller, more independent lives.
