About YEP


At YEP, we believe support work should feel meaningful, rewarding, and centered around people. We strive to create an environment where staff feel valued, supported, and connected to the work they do every day.


We are building something different — a team-centered environment where staff are encouraged, appreciated, and empowered while helping individuals build confidence, independence, and meaningful life skills. This is more than caregiving. This is mentorship, advocacy, empowerment, and genuine human connection.


We are looking for compassionate, dependable, and motivated individuals who want to make a lasting impact while maintaining a healthy work-life balance in a supportive and encouraging environment.


Why YEP?


  • Supportive leadership team with hands-on guidance
  • Flexible scheduling and strong work-life balance
  • Person-centered and trauma-informed approach
  • Team-focused environment where your voice matters
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development
  • Focus on relationship-building and individualized support
  • Leadership that values and supports staff
About the Role


  • Provide meaningful support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
  • Help individuals build independence, confidence, communication skills, and life skills
  • Create positive experiences through mentorship, encouragement, and advocacy
  • Work in an environment where leadership genuinely supports staff success
What You’ll Do


  • Support individuals in home and community settings
  • Assist with cooking, cleaning, hygiene support, organization, and medication reminders
  • Encourage participation in social and community activities
  • Support personal goal achievement and independence-building
  • Build positive relationships with families and team members
  • Complete case notes and clock in/out using AxisCare
  • Maintain accurate documentation
  • Promote a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment
Requirements


  • High school diploma or equivalent preferred
  • Experience in caregiving or direct support is a plus
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Must be willing and comfortable transporting individuals in your personal vehicle
  • Mileage reimbursement provided when using your vehicle for approved transportation
  • Must complete required background clearances
  • Valid driver’s license required
  • Current registration, inspection, and auto insurance required
  • Willingness to learn and grow within the role
Training & Orientation


We offer flexible orientation options, including self-directed training and/or paid in-person orientation sessions.


ODP trainings may be completed during orientation or independently. Previous DSP or ODP trainings from other agencies are welcomed when applicable.


About YEP


YOUTH ENRICHMENT PROJECT INC has proudly served the NEPA community for over 15 years, dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities through compassionate, person-centered support.


At YEP, we value people over numbers. We believe the best support professionals are those who lead with patience, empathy, authenticity, and heart. If you are looking for a meaningful role where leadership supports you and your work truly matters, we would love to meet you.
