Full job description

Overview

Our organization provides specialized residential care for adults and/or children within the developmental services sector. We provide behavioral supervision and support mostly for people who are dual diagnosed (e.g., developmental need and a mental health issue).

A typical residence or “program” includes between two to four clients who are supported by direct support workers. (We also support clients who are living independently or in family homes.)
