As a Community Support Worker, you will support adults with developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and/or Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) to live safely, independently, and meaningfully within their homes and communities. Responsibilities include assisting with activities of daily living, personal care, meal planning and preparation, housekeeping and homemaking tasks, medication reminders, community participation, appointments, social and recreational activities, and the development of independent living skills.

The successful candidate will build respectful, person-centred relationships that promote dignity, choice, inclusion, and quality of life while supporting each individual's unique goals and strengths. Community Support Workers play an important role in helping clients participate fully in their communities, develop life skills, foster meaningful relationships, and achieve greater independence.
