If so – you may be a #Sunbreaker: (https://www.sunbreaksociety.com/staff)
Hello- we’re Sunbreak Society: behavioral services and direct support staffing agency! We’re quite passionate about what we do, and we’ve set out to make big change not only in the lives of the clients we support but also for our staff.
For starters, we have a very experienced behavior professional team (including our Executive Director) in addition to a comprehensive training program (called the Sunbreak Institute) which provides ongoing education and guidance for staff and is central to how we run our business. We also structure our teams very differently than other organizations – we have three levels of direct support professional (DSP) roles, based on experience, willingness to complete additional training/simulation practice, and ability to support more challenging and complex client environments.
We have BPintern staff roles as well, who regularly engage with direct support staff and serve as support supervisors/mentors to the DSP team, creating consistent guidance, feedback and staff coordination with the greater Sunbreak team. In this way, no DSP at Sunbreak is ‘on an island’.
By setting up a behavior focused agency in this way we are also setting our intention to serving highly complex and challenging support situations. The individuals at the center of these situations are largely not met with the level of support they have already been deemed worthy, and it is our mission to find, train and support exceptional staff to meet the need.
We have numerous openings for DSP and BPintern roles in multiple counties – if you are interested, we encourage you to check out the details on our careers page, or share this post with others who you think might align with our passion and mission!

Openings in Washington, Multnomah, Clackamas, Hood River, Wasco, Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Linn counties and more!
