‘A’ is looking for a new support person to join his team and support him to spend time in the community.

This is a great opportunity to support a man living in Vancouver (Dunbar) who loves painting, arts and crafts, cooking and gardening.

A typical day with ‘A’ might include either going out for lunch or assisting him to pack his own lunch to enjoy in the community. In nice weather, he likes to have picnics outdoors. Frequenting a couple of centers in his community for a visit, and cooking classes are among ‘A's favourite daily activities to participate in. He also enjoys watching TV and going to the movies. He collects recyclable bottles once a week which he takes to a recycling center. 

‘A' requires some assistance with personal care, this would include some verbal prompting for use of the washroom, shaving, brushing teeth, or getting dressed. A support person is also needed to accompany ‘A’ to appointments with his doctor.

‘A’ likes to set goals and plan his day with his support staff. Some days he likes to go out and spend time in the community, while on others he may choose to do an activity at home like painting or gardening.

The preferred supporter will be someone who uses a gentle approach while upholding strong boundaries.

Cantonese language skills would be considered an asset but not required, as 'A' speaks English and Cantonese.

If you have experience or a passion to help and support individuals who struggle with mental health issues, you would be considered a great candidate for this role.

Tuesdays 11am-5pm (flexible)

Additional relief hours are available.
