Direct Support Professionals
Having the opportunity to be a Direct Support Professional (DSP) is one of the single most fulfilling careers available. Rarely is there a job that allows a person to make such a positive and lasting impact on so many lives. The job involves being a mentor, a guide, an assistant, and an advocate. Many days are hard, but there is nothing more rewarding.

Here at GMSS no matter what your title is, you are sincerely treated as an equal member of the team and we can promise that if you loose any sleep at night, it will not be because you do not love your job.
Services Coordinators
A Service Coordinator’s responsibilities are exactly what the title implies, multiple coordinating of services. A normal caseload of a service coordinator is between 10 and 20 (depending on program). The role requires the person to ensure that a person is getting quality, person-centered services while ensuring State regulatory requirements are being met. This role is perfect for a master multi-tasker and one who possesses empathetic leadership skills.
Shared Living Providers (SLPs)
A shared living provider is the central, most important role a person can be in our services. It takes a very special and caring heart to open up one’s house and one’s life to a person who needs a place to call home.
To be clear, this is a 24/7 commitment and like any co-living situation, there will be hard days and there will be times when a home provider realizes that he/she has made a lifelong connection and made someone’s life one that is full of hope and possibility.
We all need a home, and we all need to be cared for.
