At Stewart Homes, we believe that medically fragile and developmentally disabled children and adults can receive 24-hour care without missing out on the warmth and comfort of a home setting. For over forty years, our 200+ staff have been supporting children and young adults who are medically fragile with complex care needs. We presently have over 80 residents at our eleven staffed homes in Peterborough and Pickering. We are fully licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, and the only fully CARF Accredited OARTY member providing services for medically fragile children in Ontario.
Each of our residences is a small community. Children and young people living with us are usually here for extended periods, often well in to adulthood. Our residences become their homes in every sense of the word. Our staff are a diverse team who are enthusiastic about providing warm and friendly homes for our residents.
We currently have openings for Permanent part time employees who hold a full G driver's license or have had a G2 for at least one year.
