Full job description

Position Overview

As a Community Housing Support Worker, you’ll support individuals in our Community Living Services programs who live with neurodevelopmental disabilities and unique neurobehavioural needs. Our clients may be navigating things like substance use, housing challenges, dual diagnosis, or behaviours that place them at greater risk, so your compassion, patience, and creativity will make a real difference.

You’ll work closely with the Quality Service Lead and/or Community Living Services Manager to understand each person’s goals and help build meaningful plans around daily living, recreation, social connections, housing, and finances. When helpful, you’ll also collaborate with families and community partners to support the person’s success.

This role offers lots of independent work with individuals in their homes and out in the community, and every day brings a chance to help someone feel more supported, capable, and confident.

Major Responsibilities

Assist with activities of daily living (e.g. meeting professional appointments, budgeting, shopping, recreational activities, and basic cooking/meal planning assistance)
Recognize, analyze, and address challenging and emergent situations
Collaborate with CLBC facilitators and those served to determine service plans/goals
Promote independence, safety, and overall quality of life
Support with medication monitoring or management
Use harm reduction and strengths-based approaches
Contribute towards positive behavioural support frameworks
Co-facilitate therapeutic, recreational, and educational social group activities
Exercise good judgement and professional boundaries
Maintain daily contact reports and conduct needs assessments
Other duties as assigned

What We Offer

A supportive, caring, work environment with a focus on investing in our staff
Professional development opportunities
Immediate access to our robust Employee Assistance Program
