About Us
At The Behaviour Company, we operate therapeutic group homes for children & youth with complex mental health needs, developmental disabilities, and behavioural challenges. We are a trauma-informed and evidence-based team grounded in compassion, clinical excellence, and client dignity.
Position Overview
We are hiring Implementers (Developmental Support Workers, Behaviour Therapists) who bring more than crisis response—individuals who understand trauma, value emotional regulation, and have the resilience to engage youth with complex needs. You will work directly with clients aged 6–17 in our group home and the community, implementing individualized support strategies under the supervision of a clinical team.
This role is ideal for someone with education in mental health, psychology, or psychotherapy, with experience supporting children and teenagers with aggressive behaviours with a compassionate & trauma-attuned lens.
What You'll Do
- Implement trauma-informed behavioural and emotional support plans.
- Engage in therapeutic rapport-building through conversation, games, shared activities, and co-regulation.
- Take detailed data and documentation to support treatment planning.
- Support functional life skills including hygiene, routines, and meal preparation.
- Support individuals during dysregulation and use approved safety techniques when needed.
- Attend team huddles, training, and meetings as needed, and contribute to collaborative problem-solving.
- Respond to emotional and physical crises with safety, empathy, and consistency.
- Uphold house routines including cleaning and basic home upkeep.
- Prepare meals for individuals residing in the group homes.
What You Bring
✅ Post-secondary education in mental health, psychology, psychotherapy, child & youth work, or a related field
✅ Experience working with high-risk individuals, aggressive behaviours, and/or clients with developmental or psychiatric diagnoses
✅ Understanding of trauma-informed practice, emotional regulation, and relationship-based care

✅ Valid First Aid/CPR & vulnerable sector screening (preferred)
✅ SMG Crisis Training (or willingness to be trained)
