Turn Your Heart for Caregiving into a Career
Have you ever been the one everyone trusts with their child?
The calm one in the room.
The reliable helper.
The person who naturally steps in.

If you've babysat, nannied, cared for a sibling, supported an elderly grandparent, or simply have a nurturing personality - you already have the foundation to become a Direct Support Professional.

Endeavor HCBS is hiring caring individuals in

Goodyear, Arizona

to support children and young adults with developmental disabilities in their homes and communities.

You do not need prior special needs experience. You need compassion. We'll teach you the rest.

Why This Work Truly Matters
Arizona's Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) currently serves

over 60,000 individuals statewide

- and that number continues to grow each year. These are children with autism, teens with intellectual disabilities, young adults working toward independence, and families doing their very best to provide stability and opportunity.

Behind every DDD member is a family hoping for:

Support

Relief

Safety

Progress

Encouragement

When you step into this role, you become part of that village.

And here's something powerful: research consistently shows that helping others improves mental health, increases life satisfaction, reduces stress, and builds stronger communities. Service changes lives - including your own.

What You'll Actually Be Doing
This isn't a hospital setting. It's real-life support in a home environment.

Depending on the individual, you may:

Help with homework or learning activities

Assist with daily routines like meals and hygiene

Encourage communication and social interaction

Practice life skills and independence

Provide supervision and positive reinforcement

Accompany them on safe community outings

Think of it as structured caregiving with purpose and training.

$18.50 per hour

Flexible evening and weekend shifts

Health, dental, and vision benefits (for eligible team members)

Who This Is Perfect For

Nannies looking to grow into human services

Parents re-entering the workforce

Anyone who feels called to make a meaningful difference

If you have patience, reliability, and a desire to help someone grow - you belong here.

Why Goodyear Needs You
