Flexible Scheduling That Works With You Using the Rippling mobile app, you’ll receive notifications when shifts become available and can request the ones that fit your availability and schedule. This allows you to maintain flexibility while still making a meaningful impact.
Whether you’re balancing another job, school, family responsibilities, or simply prefer a more flexible schedule, this role gives you the ability to choose when you work — while still being part of a supportive, mission-driven team.
PRN Work Requirements PRN employees request and accept available open shifts through the company’s scheduling system.

Work a minimum of 36 hours per month Not exceed 24 hours per week Maintain required certifications and training Demonstrate reliable attendance when shifts are accepted
While we strive to provide opportunities for all PRN staff to maintain active status, shift availability is not guaranteed and is dependent on operational needs.
Failure to meet minimum monthly hours may result in written warning and review of employment status. All shift assignments remain subject to operational needs and supervisor approval.
Who You Are You value flexibility — but you also value follow-through. When you accept a shift, you show up ready, prepared, and professional. You adapt easily to different homes and support needs. You communicate clearly and handle challenges calmly.
You understand that even as PRN staff, the individuals we serve rely on you.

Training & Onboarding All PRN Direct Support Professionals must complete a structured onboarding process before independently working shifts. While this role offers scheduling flexibility after onboarding, full attendance during orientation and shadowing is required.

Shadowing Requirements: Minimum of two (2) shadow shifts the following week, typically 9:00am–2:00pm

Because our orientation and required certifications are scheduled during daytime hours, candidates must be able to attend these sessions in full prior to being placed on the schedule.
If you currently hold active certifications (CPR, First Aid, MANDT), portions of training may be adjusted accordingly; however, attendance at core orientation is still required. Successful and timely completion of onboarding is required to maintain employment.
