**Salary**: $45,000-$53,500

**Position Description**: Working within the Hamilton Apartments team as a Housing Support Worker, you will be responsible to provide tenants in Indwell's independent living apartments with supports that help them maintain health and housing. The Hamilton Apartments team is an interdisciplinary team that supports several buildings that provide our standard level of supports. Throughout our buildings, we support diverse tenant communities, including some buildings that are supported in partnership with Indigenous organizations.

What matters to you? Being in a work culture that operates out of their core values of DIGNITY, LOVE and HOPE- embracing diversity, promoting equality and inclusion. A place that sees you as a LEADER contributing your individuality to champion the vision of creating communities that TRANSFORM lives.

**About Us**: Founded in 1974, our Christian charity continues to thrive and grow exponentially as we serve people impacted by poverty and homelessness through our vision of HOPE and HOMES for All.

**What our Tenants say**:
"The welcoming you get when you walk through the doors, from tenants to staff. They're always checking on you." "Living at Indwell has been teaching me to do things and taught me how to get along with better people, be better people and trust people and let people do and say what they want." "An affordable rent. It’s huge, it’s huge. It means I can eat properly. And that affects my physical and mental health, so that is huge."

**Hours of Work**: Full time 12 month contract, 40 hours per week. Primarily Monday-Friday daytime hours, with some flexibility required to meet program needs, including evening and weekend hours. As the program operates 7 days a week, being on-call for 1 week every 4-6 weeks is required to support the tenants and each other on the team. The on-call rotation consists of carrying a work cell phone 24/7 for that one week, responding to urgent matters.
