- 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
