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 Community Housing Support Worker, you’ll support individuals in our Community Living Services programs who live with neurodevelopmental disabilities and unique neurobehavioural needs. Our clients may be navigating things like substance use, housing challenges, dual diagnosis, or behaviours that place them at greater risk, so your compassion, patience, and creativity will make a real difference.

You’ll work closely with the Quality Service Lead and/or Community Living Services Manager to understand each person’s goals and help build meaningful plans around daily living, recreation, social connections, housing, and finances. When helpful, you’ll also collaborate with families and community partners to support the person’s success.

This role offers lots of independent work with individuals in their homes and out in the community, and every day brings a chance to help someone feel more supported, capable, and confident.

Major Responsibilities

  • 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

  • Collaborate with CLBC facilitators and those served to determine service plans/goals

  • Promote independence, safety, and overall quality of life

  • Support with medication monitoring or management

  • Use harm reduction and strengths-based approaches

  • Contribute towards positive behavioural support frameworks

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

  • Exercise good judgement and professional boundaries

  • Maintain daily contact reports and conduct needs assessments

  • Other duties as assigned

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
