Support Worker for Supported Independent Living

6 days ago

Abbotsford, Canada Bethesda Full time

Office Location: Abbotsford

People come to Supported Independent Living, or SIL, because they live or want to live independently and need some help in achieving their dream. As a support worker, you will help people with diverse abilities learn the skills it takes to live a healthy life, develop their abilities and experience personal growth. Your priority is to build a relationship with the people you are supporting. Working on a foundation of trust, you will help people find strategies to solve problems and remove barriers.

People who are learning to live on their own may receive support in setting up a household schedule for tasks such as budgeting, shopping, paying their bills, cooking healthy meals, housework and laundry.

Others seek help in finding a job, housing, going on a trip, getting married, or any of the things that come up in life. At times, the work is more emotional-skills based, listening to frustrations and helping people to find ways to move past their difficulties.

SIL offers support in both a one-to-one setting and in group settings such as workshops, social events, and excursions. The job is based out of Abbotsford and will require travel into the community throughout the Lower Mainland.

**JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**
- Support a person in a one-to-one setting in accessing the community, learning life skills, and with self advocating.
- Lead/teach group events such as workshops, excursions, or drop-in times.
- Help people develop interpersonal skills, engage with family and friends, and participate in their community.
- Be attentive to the level of stress in the life of each person and assist in providing help to moderate the stress.
- Attend to daily health needs, reporting changes in status to the supervisor.
- Support each person in their faith practice and system of beliefs.
- Document the care of the people being supported.
- Complete vehicle, maintenance and safety documentation.

**JOB REQUIREMENTS**
- Ability to be a self motivator and work independently in community.
- Ability to work in a one-to-one setting as well as a group setting.
- Experience with mental health, social and emotional supports.
- A heart to serve people with diverse abilities and their families.
- Confidentiality with respect to people receiving our services and the operations of Bethesda is required.
- Be available to work a variety of shifts as needed. Hours of work may vary.
- Possession of Canadian, landed immigrant or legal working status.
- Standard requirements for support workers employed in BC (criminal record check, medical clearance, class 5 driver’s licence (class 4 may be required for some worksites), tuberculosis screening, ICBC driving record, immunization records/history).
- Must have access to their own safe and reliable vehicle.
- A philosophy of care in line with Bethesda’s philosophy of Christian service and support for people with intellectual disabilities.
- Full COVID-19 immunization.
- Ability to teach and lead group activities is an asset.
- Relevant education (Community Support Worker certificate, education certification or equivalent) or experience is an asset.

**BENEFITS**
- Hiring bonus: $100 at time of hire, another $200 after 1 year of continuous employment and completion of all job requirements.
- Training will be provided.
- Competitive salary: $25.05 - 28.75/hr.
- Exclusive employee discounts on a range of products and services through Bethesda’s Perkopolisaccount.
- Benefits, including 3 weeks vacation, are provided to permanent positions with guaranteed hours of 20 or more/week.
