Why Join Us?

At Bonaventure Support Services, we believe everyone deserves to live a life filled with choice, dignity, and community connection. We're a growing social service agency on Vancouver Island, providing personalized supports to adults, youth, and children with diverse abilities.

If you have some knowledge of American Sign Language (ASL) and want to expand your skills in a setting that values inclusion, learning, and growth — we'd love to meet you. This is more than a job; it's a chance to empower others to express themselves, discover their strengths, and live life on their own terms.

The Role

  • Encourage communication and self-advocacy through ASL and other inclusive methods.
  • Promote health, safety, and well-being through compassionate, individualized care.
  • Model positive behaviour strategies and apply crisis intervention skills when needed.
  • Collaborate with professionals and community partners (MCFD, CLBC, VIHA, etc.).
  • Embrace and continuously learn about Deaf culture and inclusive communication.

What You Bring

  • Education and/or experience supporting individuals with diverse abilities (e.g., CSW, RCA, SIVA, Diploma, or relevant training).
  • Some ASL proficiency and a genuine enthusiasm to continue learning to Level 3 and beyond.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a team-first mindset.
  • Respect, patience, and compassion for others' unique experiences and goals.
  • The ability to stay calm, focused, and empathetic in a dynamic environment.
  • Previous experience supporting individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing is an asset.

Requirements

  • Valid BC Class 5 Driver's License
  • RCMP Criminal Record Check (Schedule A)
  • MCFD Hub Screening
  • First Aid with CPR Certificate
  • Food Safe Level 1 Certificate
  • Immunization Record or Medical Exemption
  • Physician's Declaration & TB Screen
  • Three professional references (including one recent employer)
  • ASL certification (or willingness to achieve one)

What We Offer

  • Progressive vacation entitlement, starting at 2 weeks
  • RRSP contribution program
  • Extended health, dental, and life insurance coverage
  • Ongoing training and professional development opportunities
  • Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP)
