More about Alternative Supports, Inc.
The jobs on the board are the community-support kind — direct support professional, support coordinator, house manager — not a med-surg assignment with a named EHR or a posted nurse-to-patient ratio. On a good day the work is the reason people stay: reviewers talk about feeling energized and knowing why they showed up. On a hard day the same reviews mention short staffing, thin communication, and a management score of 2.3 out of 5. Across seven reviews the place sits at 3.4 overall, with work-life and pay at 2.3 and advancement at 2.0. Pay reports cluster near $20.75 an hour for direct support professionals (five salaries) and about $26.50 for support coordinators (two salaries). Tyngsborough is a quiet Greater Lowell town about six miles from Lowell and 37 to 40 miles north of Boston, with Route 3 and the Lowell Line if you commute.
Staff describe a clear sense of purpose in the work.
