Thank you.
Relief Direct Support Professionals provide services to the people supported by Christian Horizons in the absence of the regularly scheduled Direct Support Professional, or provide additional coverage based on temporary increased needs of people supported in a location. This new program will support individuals who present with a complexity of behaviours. Given the complexity of behaviours, you will need to have the ability to model calmness at all times and in all interactions with people, demonstrating patience, effective listening, respectful communication, and flexibility. You will be expected to foster team unity through effective communication, interpersonal relations and consistency in the application of practices, procedures, and protocols, in order to create a positive working culture and living environment where the highest level of care and services are provided to persons supported. You will be expected to demonstrate a commitment to the Vision, Mission, Values, and Service Principles of Christian Horizons, through the implementation of consistent behaviour support plans and protocols, and a person-centered approach. Upholding the rights of people supported, promoting self-determination, and encouraging citizenship through community participation, is an essential focus of your responsibilities.
The opportunity location is at Warman.
Requirements: Current First Aid/CPR; Valid Class 5 drivers license.
