ABOUT US

Mosaic Community Homes 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 Mosaic?

We hire and support amazing people. Mosaic Community Homes 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.

POSITION OVERVIEW

We are hiring multiple Complex Care Casual Support Workers to join our two homes in Dartmouth. The Complex Care Casuals will support participants who have multifaceted mental health and behaviour needs. This role is responsible for effective and appropriate verbal and physical crisis interventions. Our work schedule operates on a 24/7 basis; staff in these homes work mainly 12-hour shifts, rotating between days and overnight awake shifts. If you are someone who maintains resiliency during challenging times, you might be the right fit for our team.

We rely on our casual support staff to fill-in for shifts when our regular staff are unavailable. Although not guaranteed a minimum number of hours, there are typically ample shifts available since both homes are triple staffed. Casuals can accept or decline shifts based on their availability and are contacted in advance and on short notice. We are seeking casuals who are available to promptly complete training and work a minimum of 1-2 shifts per month. Our casuals are also eligible to apply for internal employment opportunities for which they’re qualified, including part-time or full-time unionized positions.

Proficient and evolving subject matter expertise supporting individuals with disabilities and long-term mental health concerns
Demonstrated ability to support individuals using a trauma-informed, humanistic approach
Must be willing and able to follow through on a certified physical crisis intervention model
Must be able to work a rotational schedule, with awake overnight shifts

· Resilient when immersed in highly charged environments and subjected to targeted behaviors

· Views constructive feedback as an opportunity to learn and grow

· Understands and implements direction and instruction, including specific behaviour modification approaches

· Willingness to change their approach rather than change the participant

· Understanding that behaviours can get worse before they get better

CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT:

· Food Handlers training

· Ability to promptly complete ‘Phase 1’ complex care training, including in-person and online sessions with external trainers
