What we look for
Heart Havens seeks caring direct support professionals who embrace our mission of empowerment and share our values of accountability, integrity, respect, and empathy. We're looking for people who will encourage the people we support to be true members of their communities by helping them connect to community resources and events and motivate them to try new things. At every level of our organization, we look for people who think creatively, are team players, have strong attention to detail, and are passionate about providing inclusive communities for people with a developmental disability.

Our basic qualifications include:
- A high school diploma or GED
- A valid Virginia driver's license and an insurable driving record
- Ability to pass a background/criminal history check
- Ability to document accurately using the computer
- Previous direct support experience in a DD residential group home setting preferred, or a combination of experience and certifications with a minimum of two years in DD residential with a consistent job history.
