Explore Purpose-Driven Work with Day Spring

If you’re looking for a job in Louisville that offers more than just a paycheck, consider working at a local nonprofit organization. Nonprofit jobs provide the unique opportunity to build a career rooted in purpose and community impact. At Day Spring, we believe in the dignity and value of every person—and that includes our staff.

As a Louisville nonprofit organization, Day Spring supports adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through residential services, community engagement, and education. Our team members are not just employees—they’re changemakers, advocates, and companions in helping others live meaningful lives.

A Culture That Invests in You

When you join Day Spring, you’re stepping into a culture that values growth, compassion, and teamwork. One current employee shared:

“I have worked several different positions within this company and have found that management is invested in my success. There are often opportunities to grow within the company. I've learned a lot working here and plan to stay long-term. The work is very fulfilling and for the most part easy to manage my schedule. I've enjoyed developing both personal and professional relationships with my coworkers as well. The people that we serve are wonderful individuals and so much fun to be around—they are truly the best part of the job!”

Our staff come from all walks of life, but they share one thing in common: a deep commitment to creating an inclusive world for people of all abilities.

Make a Career Out of Making a Difference

We’re hiring for a variety of roles, including:

  • Direct Support Professionals (DSPs)

  • Residential Managers

  • Program Coordinators

  • Internship Opportunities (great for students in social work, communications, nonprofit management, and more)

Whether you're seeking full-time employment or part-time flexibility, there's a place for you on our team.
