We are seeking a part-time (10 - 20 hours per week) Community Rehabilitation Worker (CRW) to join our team. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to increase hours worked, and to transition from supportive to rehabilitation focused roles, as they gain experience and capacity.

As a CRW you will work one-to-one with clients in their home and community delivering a participatory, person-centered model of rehabilitation and support. Through this role, you will promote and maintain independence for your clients with cognitively complex daily living activities, also referred to as Extended Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (E-IADL).

All members of our organization work from home offices and use well designed online programs for communication and collaboration. A willingness to learn, and to adopt, these programs is required. Staff with a regular schedule are also provided with a late model cell phone and a robust data plan.

Our team consists of doctorate level researchers and educators, occupational therapists, program leaders, and rehabilitation workers. We work together to deliver services that are informed by research and best practice while striving to maintain value alignment in our work.

CRW scheduling offers flexibility to complement an academic schedule, family responsibilities, or other commitments. The starting rate for this position is $22.85 per hour, client transport expenses are provided in addition to the hourly rate.

**Job requirements**:

- 2-year diploma and/or education in social services or a related field (preference may be given to applicants with a 4-year degree or continuing education plan).
- Minimum 1 year of experience supporting adults with cognitive impairment and/or disability (preference may be given to those with additional experience).
- Clear vulnerable sector criminal record check
- A reliable vehicle suitable for visiting and transporting clients in the community and business insurance
- BC driver’s license and a driving abstract which demonstrates safe and responsible vehicle operation
- Valid first aid certificate (CPR and wound care)
- Competency using, or willingness to learn, Microsoft Office 365 and other online platforms.
- A secure personal computer and Internet connection (or willingness to use provided data plan and cell phone for internet access with personal computer)

- Experience supporting people to develop person-centered goal plans based on their current abilities and preferences.
- Experience developing adaptive strategies to support independence.
- Understanding relationships between brain health and functional independence
- Understanding how executive function and memory inform independence with E-IADL
