About PAI

For over 30 years, PAI has helped individuals with disabilities live with purpose, dignity and joy. PAI offers a Day Program that provides life skills enrichment, vocational training and meaningful social connections for our participants living with disabilities.

A Day in the Life as a Caregiver/DSP

When our participants arrive at our sites in the morning, DSPs are there to warmly greet them and welcome them to the program. Activities vary by day, but you can expect a wide range of activities to help your clients participate in. Our Caregivers assist with activities such as: music therapy, arts and crafts, cooking lessons, bowling, group games, pet therapy, and holiday parties and events. We also take our participants on outings into the community, including visits to: the White Bear Center for the Arts, Como Zoo and Conservatory, shopping malls and stores, parks and other places of interest. While not a large part of your day, a critical portion of your time will be spent helping your participants with personal care routines. This includes helping with meal times, passing medications, assistance with toileting, and responding to personal or medical situations when they arise. Our DSPs care for the needs of PAI's participants and allow them to live each day with dignity!

Work Schedule

Schedules vary slightly among the four sites, but typical start and end times are 7:30-2:30 or 8:30-3:30, Monday through Friday. We offer flexible scheduling that allows you to work 2-5 days per week! This schedule is ideal for college students, senior citizens, or for parents who need flexibility around their child's school schedule.

Pay & Benefits

Hourly pay: $17 per hour. Sign-on bonus: $500, paid in full after 6 months of employment. We offer Casual Dress (with no uniforms) in a fun and friendly work environment!
