Awake Overnight DSP

Immediate openings right now for AWAKE Overnights from 10 pm to 6 am.

Overnights are great shifts if you're a student, to supplement another job, or to get back into the workforce. Overnights are also great shifts to work if you're new to the field and want to learn more or if you've spent years in the field and want to step back from the fast paced day shifts.

Overnights require ongoing supervision for safety and support and interaction with members on a minimal basis. There is cleaning and organizing to do, but also a lot of downtime. It takes a special skill to be awake all night, but if that's you and you care for people this is the job you want.

The schedule is split between two group homes in the city of Bangor or the town of Hermon. Friday and Saturday nights are worked in one home, Sunday and Monday nights are worked in another home. A total of 32 hours over 4 nights.

We are the highest around at $18 to start!! If you have experience you may qualify for a higher starting wage.

Apply today, interview tomorrow, and start as soon as you can!
