Are you reliable, energetic, and someone who takes initiative? Do you enjoy being active, helping others, and making a difference every day? Building Futures is looking for a Day Support Counsellor to support adults with disabilities in living active, meaningful, and connected lives. Every day is different, you may be participating in recreation programs, volunteering in the community, attending local events, or helping someone achieve a personal goal. If you enjoy variety, teamwork, and staying active, this could be the role for you.

What You'll Do As a Day Support Counsellor, you will provide respectful, person-directed support that promotes independence, choice, and community inclusion.

Your responsibilities include:

Supporting participants in recreation, leisure, and community activities.
Encouraging independence, friendships, and personal growth.
Planning and participating in activities, outings, and special events.
