Description complète de l’entreprise

The John Howard Society of Okanagan & Kootenay is a registered charity and social service agency operating in the Okanagan community for more than 60 years. Our organization has a strong history of assisting individuals experiencing a variety of challenges and social issues such as poverty, homelessness, mental health concerns, neurodevelopmental disabilities, and involvement in the criminal justice system. Our goal is to contribute to community wellness by offering services that support clients in a number of areas, including providing and assisting with housing, community reintegration, advocacy, support with mental health and addictions, while learning how to be accountable to others and responsible for themselves. It is important to have compassion balanced with strength so that we may provide the best in care for all of our program participants. The work of JHSOK is possible because of the combined drive and effort of staff and volunteers, interagency collaboration, partnerships with funders, support by the community, and by the amazing and resilient people we serve. Johann Hari said that, “the opposite of Addiction is Connection”, could we go further then, and say that, “the opposite of Homelessness is Community”? At JHSOK we do just that, we help to bridge the gap and build strong communities, where everyone is welcome, included, and safe.

Description

Position Overview

As a casual Community Housing Support Worker (CHSW), you will provide person-centered, community-based support to individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities, including those with complex behavioral, mental health, and substance use challenges. The CHSW works independently with individuals in their homes and occasionally in community settings. Both environments will frequently involve working in often dynamic situations requiring sound judgment, adaptability, and strong crisis-response skills.

This position also involves supporting clients in achieving outcomes related to housing stability, community inclusion, and independence by supporting individuals to develop and maintain life skills in alignment with their individualized service plans. This includes assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs), facilitating access to community resources, and implementing behavioural and harm reduction strategies.

Major Responsibilities

  • Conduct initial and ongoing needs assessments to identify client strengths, risks, and service priorities

  • Assist with activities of daily living (e.g. meeting professional appointments, budgeting, shopping, recreational activities, and basic cooking/meal planning assistance)

  • Recognize, analyze, and address challenging and emergent situations

  • Collaboratively develop, implement, and regularly review individualized service plans with clients and stakeholders

  • Advocate for and assist clients in accessing community resources, income supports, healthcare services, treatment programs, housing opportunities, and other services

  • Support clients with developing alternative coping strategies and behaviours

  • Contribute towards positive behavioural support frameworks, incorporating input from family members and support networks, where appropriate

  • Co-facilitate therapeutic, recreational, and educational social group activities

  • Complete assessments, progress reports, and incident documentation accurately and within required timelines

What We Offer

  • A supportive, caring, work environment with a focus on investing in our staff

  • Professional development opportunities

  • Immediate access to our robust Employee Assistance Program
