Join Our Team
We are always hiring for great DSPs!
We have high needs in Clackamas, Washington, and Multnomah counties, and our DSP pay scale starts at $21 per hour!
Why Join Our Team?
Better Together Supports is a company that is focused on two things. We are constantly thinking about how we can best serve our clients and how can we best serve our DSP’s.
Before we even began as a company, we took the time to talk with DSP’s across the nation through surveys, focus groups and even reaching out to people on social media to discuss issues they were facing as DSP’s. We used this information to shape how we operate as a company.
When you are working with us, you can rest assured that we aren’t just making business decisions, we are making DSP informed business decisions. We cant do this without you, and that is the attitude we have woven into our company.
Why Join Our Team?
Flexible Opportunities | Paid Training | No Experience Required
Looking for meaningful work that truly matters?

What Can You Expect From Us?
Competitive Pay
The owner of BTS has been a DSP and knows that this industry is often a labor of love for the people we serve. While we know there is not a price that can be put on the amazing relationships we will build together with our clients, we want to offer you the pay structure you need to thrive outside of your work.
Support
The word support kept coming up in our surveys and focus groups. BTS wants to honor your voice by hearing you, problem solving with you, and offering you the best support we can so that you can be successful.
Communication
There are too many moving pieces in our clients care plans for us to leave you out of the conversation. BTS will ensure that you are involved in the necessary communications to keep you successful in your post with one of our clients.
Education

What You’ll Do
As a DSP, you’ll provide one-on-one support in clients’ homes and in the community. Every client is different, but your responsibilities may include:

- Taking clients into the community for recreation, appointments, shopping, or other activities
- Building positive, trusting relationships with clients and their families
