A workplace where your success matters
We’ve been supporting people with intellectual disabilities for more than 50 years. We have the experience, expertise, and structure to support your best performance. Just as important, you’ll be part of a culture that values your contributions and supports your well-being.
What that looks like:

- Registered pension plan
- Health support and life insurance coverage
- Parental leave top-ups
- Employee and family assistance program
- Paid mileage
- Career growth opportunities and support
- Recognition and appreciation events
What I love about working at DASCH is the importance it places on employee wellness. The strong team cohesion here supports workplace happiness, and the investment in training sets people on a path to success.

Scheduling Manager
Seeing individuals grow, achieve their goals, and live fulfilling lives brings me a huge sense of accomplishment and purpose in my work. The level of care, respect, and communication among staff makes it easy to support individuals at DASCH effectively.
Rimon Bishay
Location Supervisor
I was looking for a part-time job when I started at DASCH. Fast forward a decade, and I’m still here, loving it, and working full-time in a management position. DASCH has supported my growth and development every step of the way.
Jenna Teschner
Program Manager
I can give my best working at DASCH partly because of the paid discretionary time off when I need it. I can see my doctor, dentist, and massage therapist without stressing about taking time off.
Jackie Johnson
Vocational Educator
I recently saw an individual I supported many years ago as a youth while visiting another DASCH home. He looked happy and healthy and was engaging with others–big improvements! It was uplifting to see, and I’m proud to have supported him (along with others) to get to this point.
Kyle Braun
Location Supervisor
After more than three decades working at DASCH, the best part of my day is when an individual I support at DASCH greets me with a smile in the morning, and I see their excitement when we go out to do an activity together.
