Want to Make a Real Difference? Join the Living Innovations Team!
At Living Innovations, we don’t just fill jobs—we build community. We are looking for dependable, big-hearted folks to join us as Direct Support Professionals and Job Coaches. If you are the kind of person who rolls up their sleeves, treats everyone with respect, and wants to help others live their best, most independent lives, we want to talk to you. No experience? No problem. If you’ve got the heart for it, we will train you.
What You’ll Be Doing
This isn't a desk job. You’ll be out in the community and in homes, working one-on-one with good people who just need a helping hand to reach their goals and live with dignity.
- Help with everyday tasks like dressing, meal preparation, personal hygiene, and health needs.
- Provide transportation to medical appointments, community outings, and social activities.
- Help individuals develop life skills, enjoy hobbies, and get involved in local clubs, civic groups, or faith-based organizations.
- Work one-on-one to help individuals learn and accurately perform their job responsibilities.
- Keep honest records, show up on time, and always act as a positive role model.
- Ask about our Nature Trek roles, where you can lead outdoor adventures like hiking, camping, and kayaking to teach valuable life skills.
What’s in It for You?
We take care of the people who take care of our community. When you join our team, you can expect:
- $500 Sign-On Bonus to welcome you aboard!
- Daily Pay giving you the flexibility to access your earned wages as you go.
- Mileage Reimbursement for your travel.
- Full-Time Status starting at just 30+ hours per week.
- Solid Benefits: Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, plus Paid Time Off (PTO).

QualificationsWhat You Need to Bring to the Table
You don’t need a fancy degree to do this work, but you do need to be reliable, thoughtful, and ready to learn.
- A high school diploma or equivalent.
- A valid state-issued driver’s license, reliable vehicle, and current auto insurance/registration.
- The ability to pass comprehensive background checks.
- Must be able to provide 2 professional references.
- A willingness to complete paid training certifications (like the CDS modules) within your first few weeks.
- Good communication skills, a team-player attitude, and respect for confidentiality.

About Living Innovations

For 23 years Living Innovations has partnered with thousands of families in New Hampshire, Maine, and Rhode Island to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead good lives at home and in their communities with innovative programming and services.

On February 1, 2021, Living Innovations became a service of Mosaic, and is considered a 501(c)(3) organization. Mosaic CEO Linda Timmons said the two organizations have a similar vision for service, strong values and a common mission, so joining together brought new strength to the Mosaic network and new resources to Living Innovations. Mosaic offers a wide range of supports, including services mirroring those of Living Innovations.

For some of our individuals, we have helped them find opportunities for Shared Living, which is based on carefully matching a person in need of support with a host family in a natural home, as opposed to a shift-staffed or institutional environment. Why is that important? One of our core values is: Putting people first. And we believe everyone should have an equal opportunity to experience all that life has to offer. For others, we have reinforced and provided opportunities to help them participate in educational, social and employment opportunities. In our Community Support Program, all activities are geared to meet the specific needs, desires and interests of the participants. The goal is to enhance their health, safety and independent living skills.
