Full-time residential DSP staff in good standing at the end of each quarter will receive a $300.00 bonus – up to $1,200 each year!
“Our residence counselors put their hearts into their work each and every day, supporting our individuals year-long through weekends, holidays, and all kinds of weather,” said Catherine McGuiggan, Managing Director of Program Operations. “We are thrilled to be able to celebrate their dedication and commitment with a new incentive. It’s a small token of our appreciation for the life-changing work they do.”
Residence counselors support our residents’ daily living needs while helping them implement person centered plans.
