ABOUT US

Mosaic Community Homes (formerly Metro Community Housing Association) is a non-profit, community-based agency that provides support to persons living with mental illness. Mosaic operates residential settings throughout Halifax and Dartmouth under the umbrella of Department of Community Services and has grown to 17 locations following the opening of our newest home in 2025.

Established in 1974, Mosaic manages small option homes, group homes, complex care homes, a community transition house, and residential care facility. We also offer supported apartment services to those participants living independently.

WHY MCHA

We hire and support amazing people. Mosaic promotes an environment that is inclusive, respectful, and supportive of diversity. Our agency offers a rewarding career in the human services field, where employees can develop meaningful relationships with participants and make a positive impact in their daily lives.

Our front-line staff partner with participants to encourage community engagement, enhance personal development, and provide both emotional and physical support in a home setting. We meet people where they’re at and strive to create safe spaces where participants can receive equitable treatment while building their autonomy. If you are someone who is patient, resilient, and has a positive attitude, you might be the right fit for our team.

POSITION OVERVIEW

We rely on our casual support staff to fill-in for shifts when regular employees are unavailable for work. Our homes are open 24/7, with various shift times depending on location. Our casuals do not have a set schedule and aren’t guaranteed a minimum number of hours, although there are typically ample shifts available given the size of our staff teams. Casuals can accept or decline shifts based on their availability and are contacted in advance and on short notice.

Our casuals are also eligible to apply for internal employment opportunities, including part-time or full-time unionized positions. Some of the benefits we offer unionized staff include health and dental coverage, Group RSPs, Employee & Family Assistance Program, paid vacation, and other Collective Agreement benefits.

Qualifications:

Post-secondary education in human services or related field (completed or in progress) OR 6 months equivalent experience in an RRW level position
Work or volunteer experience in human services sector considered an asset.

Basic computer skills (Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams, online training).
Positions in our Supported Apartment Services Department require a vehicle, current safety inspection, and 6A endorsement or $2,000,000 in liability insurance coverage.

Personal Attributes:

Strong verbal communication skills and the ability to create respectful dialogue with individuals who experience mental illness
Effective de-escalation and conflict resolution skills
Sound judgement and ability to make responsible decisions in time of participant crisis
