At Covenant Case Management Services (CCMS), our mission is to serve our community through education, advocacy, and partnership to fuel purpose-filled futures. Founded on the belief that everyone deserves a safe, joyful place to thrive, we provide holistic, compassionate, whole-person care to empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to overcome limitations and realize their dreams. We consider those we serve an extension of our family and our independent contractors an essential part of our team.
We are seeking an energetic, dependable, and creative Direct Support Professional (1099 Independent Contractor) to support an engaging, verbal young adult woman in King, NC (Zip Code: 27021) .
She loves being active, creative, and out and about! Her favorite hobbies include shopping, getting her hair and nails done, swimming, walking for light exercise, and sitting down to do arts, crafts, and coloring. The primary goal is for her to spend the majority of each shift out enjoying the local community rather than staying inside the house. Staff will start the day by assisting her with her morning routine, breakfast, and getting ready, followed by community outings and creative activities. She is verbal and easy to converse with; her only specific behavioral support need is food-seeking, which requires proactive supervision, clear boundaries, and healthy routine redirection.

Attentive Food-Seeking Support: Provide proactive, structured guidance and gentle boundary reinforcement around food seeking, promoting healthy dietary choices and scheduled meal routines without confrontation.
Companionship & Verbal Engagement: Converse, build genuine rapport, and practice everyday social and independence skills across both home routines and public settings.
Caregiver Collaboration & Safety: Partner closely with the family and CCMS coordinators to maintain consistent routines, prioritize community safety, and submit accurate, timely daily documentation.
