(Live-in) Support Worker
7 months ago
You would be a supportive roommate holding a central support role on our small team while also having the flexibility to have other employment or obligations outside of the home. Primarily your position is that of a good role model and helpful roommate while assisting him and his support team in keeping and/or adapting current routines that work best for him to live an ordinary life as independently as possible while offering some mentorship and/or coaching to help him improve on some of his living skills and expectations.
We'd ask that you be home most often Monday - Friday by approx. 5 pm to share the supper meal and clean up together and also be available a bit more on the weekends. This young man does not require constant supervision or support which gives you some flexibility to run an errand or step out for an hour or two when needed.
You would have 4 respite days per month (48/year) available to use at your discretion. You can choose to take one day/night off each week, every second weekend or even bank your respite to allow you to take longer times away from home at a time.
This young man and our team values inclusion and diversity. We are searching for someone who is as pretty chill, friendly and personable as the person we support. He is a devoted Oilers and Blue Jays fan and watches almost every game, he works part time, is a member of a Toastmasters club and has recently taken up the hobby of model railroading which had been a dream of his for a long time.
His home is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom furnished unit with a small fenced back yard. Most of the home is furnished with the exception of your bedroom and basement which is primarily a space you can use for extra space and/or storage. This condo is located just blocks away from Century park with a bus stop located steps away (a 9 minute trip to Southgate Mall). Most outside maintenance is taken care of by the condo association and you'd have 2 outdoor parking stalls with power outlets for the winter.
You will share the responsibilities of living in the home much the same as any other roommate however due to his lack of mobility, some tasks may be left to you, if he is unable to assist or share in some home responsibilities. This young man wishes to remain in his home while living as independently as he is able and so motivated to do.
- Excellent communication skills
- _- Health care experience would be an asset_ but not a requirement as this young man has spina bifida and does require some assistance each morning (health care support comes in to the home to assist him each morning)
- Ability to be a coach and mentor while "acting" as a friend
- demonstrate good organizational and time management skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Mentor living a healthy and balanced lifestyle (this is a necessity for him)
- A valid Class 5 drivers licence, a reliable vehicle and clean driving record
