**About the Role and Stonehenge Therapeutic Community**:
Our Residential Support Staff (RSS) provide support to clients attending our longer-term residential addiction treatment program in Guelph. Our approach to treatment is a group approach, based around peer support and mutual self help. Our team contributes to our clients' recovery journey by demonstrating positive and healthy behaviours (role modelling), engaging in supportive counselling, containment and crisis intervention, and participating alongside residents in community living activities (participating in mealtimes and outdoor recreation activities).

**The Relief RSS team** must be available to be scheduled for a minimum of 2 shifts per month, working from 12:30pm to 10:30pm.

Additionally, Relief staff will be contacted to work last minute assignments as needed (to cover unexpected staff absences) or can pick up open shifts as they become available. The Relief team will also provide coverage for statuary holidays, staff vacations and staff absences. These additional requirements are in addition to the regularly scheduled shifts outlined above and will require flexibility to work on other shifts or dayparts as needed (example overnight, evenings or weekdays).

**The Part Time RSS team** will be scheduled for 4 shifts per month, working every second weekend (Saturday and Sunday) from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Similarly to the Relief team, they will also be required to provide coverage for holidays, vacations and absences, as well as attending the monthly staff meeting.

**The Part Time Overnight RSS team **will be scheduled for 3 shifts per week, including working every second weekend (Saturday and Sunday) from 10pm to 8am. This is a set schedule working 30 hrs/wk, and includes enrollment in the health/dental benefit plan.
