About Kindly

At Kindly, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to live a meaningful, independent, and fulfilling life.

We provide personalized support services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our mission is to help individuals build independence, strengthen community connections, achieve personal goals, and live life on their own terms.

DSPs play a vital role in helping individuals develop life skills, participate in meaningful activities, build relationships, increase independence, and achieve goals identified in their support plans.

  • Ability to complete required training and certification requirements
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Preferred

  • Experience supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
  • Experience in healthcare, caregiving, education, behavioral health, or human services

  • Bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply

 

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to travel throughout assigned service areas
  • Ability to lift, transfer, or assist individuals when required by the support plan
  • Ability to stand, walk, bend, reach, and perform physical activities associated with community-based support services
  • Ability to respond appropriately in emergency situations

 

What Makes Kindly Different?

At Kindly, we recognize that exceptional care starts with exceptional caregivers.

Our DSPs receive ongoing support, accessible leadership, quality training, and opportunities for professional growth. We strive to create an environment where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the individuals they serve.

When you join Kindly, you become part of a team that believes support should be personal, compassionate, and centered on helping people thrive.
