Hello Friends of Vocational Visions,
You already know that our dedicated team of Direct Support Professionals (DSP) is the engine that drives our organization. All of the services we provide to people in our programs, ranging from community support and personal care, to advocacy and goal attainment, is only possible because of the dedication of our loyal staff. Our goal as an organization is to recruit and retain the motivated, qualified staff that people in our programs deserve. With that in mind, we made the decision to raise our starting pay last year, followed by increases for all existing staff. However, most of us have observed that the economy continues to be challenging, especially for those in our DSP positions.
After careful consideration and consultation with our Board of Directors, we made the decision to increase our starting pay to $19 per hour, with corresponding increases for all of our DSPs, based on performance. Our goal is to invest in our staff, to let them know how much we value them, and to attract more qualified staff who have a passion for supporting people with disabilities.
We have high standards for support, and we plan to hire additional staff to expand services so that we may serve more people who want to gain skills, access their community, build relationships, or get a well-paying job. By investing in our staff we will be a stronger organization, better able to accomplish our mission.
