Job Description

If making a positive impact in the lives of others is always on your to-do list -- you'll LOVE working with a team that puts people first.

You will love this job if you are:

  • A natural helper - you possess the natural instinct to help people feel more relaxed, safe and confident;
  • A top-notch listener - you hear the one-of-a-kind stories in every person you meet and naturally embrace each person's uniqueness;
  • A dedicated teacher - you have a knack for sensing the emotions of others and enjoy helping others explore and learn;
  • A proud advocate - you have an innate desire to stand up for people who need a voice
  • A born go-getter - you are always looking for ways to add value, improve processes, build others up, and make the world a better place.

What you'll do in this role:

  • Assist with the development of important daily living skills and life activities by creating an environment where people can learn, grow and discover;
  • Help people identify and achieve the goals most important to them in order to live their best life possible;
  • Monitor the comfort and safety of the people we serve while ensuring their medical, nutritional and personal care needs are being met; and,

This job may be the perfect fit for you if...

  • You do whatever it takes and the phrase "That's not my job" is not a part of your vocabulary.
  • When you hear the word inclusive or inclusion, you know that is you. People are people and you consider yourself a people person!
