Job details
*NHPSG Society *is a Non-Profit Society and receives funding from The Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) and School District 42. We are also a member in good standing with the Chamber of Commerce serving Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.
A youth care worker is needed to join a team implementing an in-home intervention program for a child affected with Autism. Days available: Weekends, afternoon shifts, occasional night shifts and occasional weekdays.
The person we are looking for should be very patient, physically strong and fit and be able to follow the direction given by the Program Manager and other consultants - BC, Speech Therapist and Occupational Therapist, preferable someone with a post secondary education in a child related field. The youth that you will be working with is semi-verbal and has the ability to learn. There are times when this youth has challenging behaviours with complex needs and therefore it is advantageous for the incumbent to be able to handle such situations and think on their feet, to redirect the child, and to follow the behaviour plans.
CPI or Mandt certification is preferable as well as a clean drivers abstract, first aid certification and training in autism. A criminal record check will also be needed. More information on this opportunity will be provided once we have an interview with the potential candidate. Applicants must be flexible and willing to take on extra evening shifts when required when there is a staff shortage.
The applicant should preferably be able to start immediately. The candidate must be flexible in the shifts being worked - there are 730am to 3pm OR 3pm to 11pm on weekdays. On weekends the shifts are 8am to 4pm OR 4pm to 11pm. Overnight shifts are from 11pm to 8am on weekends. Candidates will get 2 days off per week.
