Community Inclusion Worker - Kamloops, Canada - Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism

Description

The Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism in Kamloops, British Columbia, is looking for full and part time workers in the Community Inclusion Program.

This program work with autistic adults 19+ who are affiliated with CLBC. The young men and women we work with will have tailor-made programs geared toward their individuals goals.

Our staff works with them toward achieving their goals, while keeping in mind the client's individual personal care plans and behaviour plans.

The individuals in our adult program have been with our Centre for many years in our other programs, and are very important to us.

In this job, you would work primarily 1-to-1 with one or more clients, with very limited group interactions. Activites will include swimming, crafts / cooking as applicable, time spent outdoors, time in sensory therapy, and more. Some of our young men and women may have newspaper routes. Part of the responsibility of staff will be driving their client to various activities.


This is not a desk job. You will work directly with the clients. Depending on the client, they have different personal care plans, and may experience different behaviour challenges.
