London, Canada L'Arche London Full time

Assistant teams support core members (adults with intellectual disabilities) by sharing in their daily life in a home setting. We cook and eat meals together, get together with friends, participate in activities in our neighbourhoods, go on vacation together, and celebrate often. Through sharing life with Core Members, Assistants gain valuable life skills, opportunities for personal growth and self-direction, as well as enhanced leadership abilities.

Assistants develop positive, supportive, and mutual relationships with core members through sharing daily life together and respecting their history, choices, goals, and needs.
