Direct Support Professional, Part-Time
The Emory Valley Center
At the Emory Valley Center in Oak Ridge, TN, everything we do is about the people we support—adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who deserve the chance to live full, meaningful lives. For over 70 years, we’ve walked alongside these incredible individuals, helping them achieve greater independence, connect with their communities, and reach their personal goals. Whether it’s supporting someone in their first job, helping a child find their voice through therapy, or creating a safe, welcoming home, our team plays a vital role in life-changing moments every day. If you're looking for more than just a job—if you want to be inspired, uplifted, and part of something truly special—we’d love for you to join us.
