Success in the role is not only determined by credentials. Although a solid learned competency in high standards of care is essential, (some people you support will need assistance with personal care, tolieting and eating) we place equal value on the capacity of our staff to be consistent and intentional around advocating for, and actively demonstrating what it means to support someone with a disability, in their own neighborhood and community.

• Expect to assist with personal care, toileting and eating as required, and as the support needs for a person changes
• Expect to play an active role in,  and to contribute to the information and goal setting that happens at an annual Person Centred Review
• Expect to do house-cleaning and to create a warm and welcoming space
• Our organization is rooted in the values of inclusion.  We expect staff to be open and supportive of others differences including cultural diversity, sexual identity and spirituality and to be respectful of rituals and celebrations
