Supportive Neighbour Poss-abilities Program

Calgary, Canada Calgary Alternative Support Services Full time

Are you interested in making a difference in the lives of marginalized populations?

The field of human services provides meaningful work. What you do has a purpose, and you know it directly impacts and contributes to an individual’s well-being while supporting the development of more inclusive communities which benefit everyone.

Calgary Alternative Support Services (CASS) recognizes that the people we employ are our single greatest asset. We endeavour to recruit and mentor human service professionals with talent and commitment for disability advocacy and community engagement.

This posting will close on February 29, 2024.
Program Summary
The Calgary Alternative Poss-Abilities (CAPA) program supports a strengths-based, client-directed approach to service. We endeavor to assist adults by providing support and advocacy with systems navigation and access, development of community connections, and personal empowerment.
We offer personal empowerment through support and advocacy with systems navigation and access and community connections as well as case management and service coordination. The domains of focus include: assessment, finance, housing, justice, employment, education, parenting, relationships, and health.
Position Summary
A Supportive Neighbour (SN) is a support model in which a client is supported in their own home, with scheduled support times as well as on-call. The SN is classified as a sub-contractor. The sub-contractor is not an employee and therefore does not receive the same benefits as Calgary Alternative Support Services employees, such as vacation time, health benefits or employment insurance contributions. SNs will receive a T4A tax form each year, must declare their income and are responsible for all taxes payable.
The SN position provides supports to an adult with complex needs living in their own home. The type of support that the SN provides to the client depends on the individual's support needs. Clients will identify their goals in their Individual Support Plan (ISP) meetings and SN will assist them in achieving these goals. Support can include, but is not limited to, home maintenance, grocery shopping, medical appointments, reminders, community inclusion and advocacy.
The client and Supportive Neighbour will live within an acceptable distance of each other to ensure expedient and accessible contact to supports, especially in the case of emergency. This position requires ongoing and constant flexibility from the support provider.
CASS requires that all sub-contractors are current in the following mandatory training: (must be completed within 60 days of hire):

- Abuse Awareness Training (Includes PDD Abuse Protocol)
- Basic First Aid - Level A CPR & AED or Intermediate First Aid - Level A CPR & AED
- Crisis Prevention and Intervention
- Introduction to Your Role via Open Future Learning
- Challenging Behaviours via Open Future Learning
- Challenging Behaviours II: Forms and Policy
- Trauma-Informed Care Training
- Harm Reduction Training
- Medication Administration (if the clients needs require it)

Required
- A Police Information Check with a Vulnerable Sector Check that is satisfactory to CASS
- Completion of a CASS "Statement of Confidentiality"
- Completion of a "Confirmation of Understanding of the CASS Policy & Procedures"

Experience
- Knowledge in supporting adults with complex needs preferred

Required Education
- Diploma in a Human Service discipline or equivalent experience

Other

**Required Skills**:

- A vehicle and valid driver's license is considered an asset

**Referral Program**: If you have been referred by an existing CASS staff member, please indicate who referred you in your cover letter so that they can be rewarded through our referral program
We thank all applicants in advance for their interest in this position, however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
