Toronto, Canada L'Arche Toronto Homes Full time

L'Arche Toronto is seeking an energetic, compassionate individual to work and live alongside individuals with and without developmental disabilities in a L'Arche home. Successful applicants will support core members (adults with intellectual disabilities) to live full and independent lives participating in their local communities, sharing their gifts and building relationships. Assistants gain valuable life skills and opportunities for personal growth and leadership. More than a job, the live-in assistant role offers an exceptional and life changing adventure in friendship and self-discovery.

Assistant teams support core members (adults with intellectual disabilities) by sharing in their daily life. 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.

**Schedule and Responsibilities**:
This is a live-in position whereby you share life as you would in a normal home setting with individuals with and without developmental disabilities. The assistants (care-providers) are scheduled to work in the home for 40-44 hours, 5 of 7 days / week. Assistants have the same responsibilities as one would have in any home (i.e. cooking and cleaning), but more importantly have the responsibility of spending time getting to know people in the home, sharing time and activities together, and learning about themselves as they discover that they can just be themselves and be valued for who they are. As an assistant, one does not go home after a day of work, because home is also the place where one works. Assistants have a bedroom that is their private space within a L'Arche home.

Daily rhythm and responsibilities are much like in any household where members of the household require personal care support:

- Assisting Core Members with their morning and evening routines
- Assisting with bathing and using the toilet as needed
- Supporting Core Members in following the direction of medical professionals including administering medication
- Cooking & cleaning
- Grocery shopping
- Yard work as required

More importantly Assistants have the responsibility of building community by spending time getting to know people in the home, participating in the spiritual life of the home and community, sharing activities together, and learning about themselves and others. The key to life in L’Arche - for everyone - is being open to relationship.

**Opportunities**:

- Each year L'Arche hires over 200 new Assistants to live and work in 28 communities across Canada
- All new Assistants participate in the L'Arche Leadership Development Program
- Many Assistants choose to stay at L'Arche for one or two years. There are also opportunities for longer term roles in leadership across the country
- There are opportunities to transfer to one of 160 L'Arche communities in 38 countries around the world
- Compensation and Benefits are provided. Assistant Roles are Full-Time.

**Requirements**:

- We hire people from a wide variety of educational backgrounds**. **Experience with caregiving or training as a Personal Support Worker is preferred, but not mandatory for hiring.
- We are looking for people with an open attitude, ability to work as part of team, a desire to grow, and who want to make a meaningful difference in the world
- Personal traits of creativity, flexibility, attention to detail, and ability to organize time and carry responsibility are important for the role of Assistant.
- We will provide training for First Aid & CPR, Medication Administration, Crisis Prevention and Intervention, as well as orientation to specific personal care routines & disabilities. Formation in relationship building, vision and mission is provided through the L'Arche Leadership Development Program.
- Pre-employment requirements: Criminal reference check (vulnerable sector)

We wish to thank all applicants for their interest in the Assistant position. Please note that only those legally able to work in Canada and those selected for an interview will be contacted.
