The field of human services provides meaningful work. What you do has a purpose, and you know it directly impacts and contributes to an individual’s well-being while supporting the development of more inclusive communities which benefit everyone.

Support Home Provider (SHP)
A Support Home is a support situation in which a client shares a home with their support person (family or individual), the Support Home Provider (SHP). The client may live in a separate space in the home or share the same living space with the SHP. The SHP generally provides support in all activities of daily living. This includes, but is not limited to, activities such as laundry, housekeeping, making and attending medical appointments, administering medications, planning and preparing healthy meals, budgeting, and recreation and leisure. The supports that SHPs are providing typically occur in the mornings, evenings and weekends, as clients may have a day program, employment, or scheduled activities to attend during the day. However, where this is not the case, the SHP may be responsible for providing support during the day as well.
