As a CRW you will work one-to-one with clients in their home and community settings, delivering a participatory, person-centered model of rehabilitation and support.

- Identifying points of community integration and facilitating involvement.
- Assisting clinicians to achieve client rehabilitation goals.
- Maintaining safe and stable housing.
- Building and maintaining healthy routines with eating, socializing and exercise.

Staff with a regular schedule are also provided with a late model cell phone and a robust data plan for use during their working hours.

CRW scheduling offers flexibility to complement an academic schedule, family responsibilities, or other commitments. The starting rate for this employment position is $26.11/ hour (plus vacation pay); reimbursements for 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).
- Recent clear vulnerable sector criminal record check (i.e., CRRP criminal record check; our agency will cover the cost).
- A reliable vehicle suitable for visiting and transporting clients in the community, with ‘use for business’ insurance.
- BC driver’s license and a driving abstract demonstrating safe and responsible vehicle operation.
- Valid first aid certificate (CPR and wound care).
- COVID-19 vaccination
- 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 in, or a willingness to learn about, the following areas is also an asset**:

- Supporting people to develop person-centered goal plans based on their current abilities and preferences.
- Developing adaptive strategies to support independence.
- Understanding relationships between brain health and functional independence.
