Per diem DSP work across Florida — pick your shifts, set your schedule, keep 90% of every dollar. ShiftCura launches in Tri-County South Florida on June 15, 2026, with statewide expansion planned for Q3-Q4 2026. Browse DSP shifts by city below.
Direct Support Professionals provide daily living support, behavioral guidance, and community integration assistance for Floridians with intellectual and developmental disabilities. DSPs work across APD-funded group homes, supported living programs, and adult day training centers — and are in chronic short supply statewide, with Florida's group home and waiver program operators consistently unable to fully staff their rosters.
Florida sets the bar for Direct Support Professional compliance. Every ShiftCura provider expects these before your first shift — upload once and your verified profile works across every provider on the platform:
Agencies tell Direct Support Professionals where to work, when to work, and what they're worth. ShiftCura shows you what's available and lets you choose. Here's what that actually looks like for Direct Support Professionals in Florida:
Work a morning shift at one facility, a night shift at another, a weekend at a third — in the same week. You build your schedule across multiple providers.
See open shifts with transparent rates. Take the ones paying more than your current job. The market sets the rate in front of you.
Every DSP on ShiftCura is effectively a travel caregiver within Florida. Move where the shifts are good, not where an agency sends you.
Work for multiple providers simultaneously. No single bad dispatcher, no one facility's politics controls your income.
Agencies punish caregivers who turn down shifts. On ShiftCura, you just don't accept shifts that day. Next day, your full feed is back.
Picking up a single shift is frictionless — tomorrow's shift is on the same platform, same profile. Single shifts become continuous income.
DSP per diem work gives you something most group home employment can't: predictable demand without being locked into one provider's scheduling decisions. ShiftCura connects you directly with APD-licensed group homes and waiver programs that need reliable coverage — no agency markup on your rate, consistent shift availability across multiple providers in your area, and 90% of every shift paid to you same-day.
ShiftCura covers every major Florida market. Tri-County cities are live as of June 15, 2026. Other regions are launching throughout Q3-Q4 2026 — join the waitlist in your city to be first in line.
Florida's caregiver workforce has been underpaid for too long. Staffing agencies historically skim 30-60% off every DSP rate before you ever see a paycheck. Medicaid reimbursement formulas still reflect numbers from a decade ago. The people doing the hardest work in healthcare have been getting paid the least.
Every shift you pick up on ShiftCura puts pressure on that model. When Florida Direct Support Professionals have a direct marketplace with transparent rates, the agency economic leverage breaks down — facilities that used to pay agency markups have to reconsider the math. Over time, rates have to follow, because the labor pool keeps moving to platforms that pay fairly.
This isn't just a better gig app. It's a structural correction to a broken market — and you're at the center of it.
Direct Support Professional shift rates on ShiftCura typically range from $16–$24 per hour depending on the city, facility type, and shift timing. Night shifts and weekend shifts generally pay a premium. On ShiftCura, Direct Support Professionals keep 90% of every dollar they earn — the platform charges a flat 10% fee only on completed shifts.
Every Direct Support Professional on the platform must have: Florida APD-approved Direct Support Professional training, Level 2 AHCA background screening, Current CPR/First Aid, plus the additional requirements listed in your profile onboarding. You upload your documents once and they travel with your profile across every provider on the platform.
