URGENT NEED for skilled worker in the Greater Vancouver Area.

Community Support Worker ( Complex Care) serve as ‘behaviour therapists’ for children, youth and adults with highly complex behavioral and emotional disorders and/or developmental conditions. Their purpose is to create SAFETY and STABILITY for these individuals and their families, while pursuing the goals necessary to help the individual and family reduce their level of service need.

Are YOU comfortable with more challenging behaviours? Some of our clients can exhibit extreme anger, intense language, and aggressive behaviours. Staying calm and safe, and knowing how to deescalate tough situations is essential.

Can YOU commit to your shifts? Sometimes the consequences of dropping a shift can be catastrophic to our Complex Care families. We’re looking for consistent and stable staff.

Can YOU urgently pursue goals? Our clients and their families need your help to improve their situation - right away - by learning new skills, and building the resilience they need to be successful without our support one day.

- Complete data tracking and session notes after each shift
- Are accountable to their clients and to their multi-disciplinary team and the Complex Care Program Manager
- Must have a reliable mode of transportation
