Skilled in managing high-needs behaviours with patience, empathy, and professionalism
Physical ability to assist with lifting and supportive tasks as needed
Current First Aid/CPR certification
Clear Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Check

Ideal Candidate:

We are looking for someone who:

Has experience supporting youth with autism, behavioural needs, or developmental disabilities
Can remain calm, confident, and emotionally regulated during conflict or escalation
Understands the importance of consistency, structure, and relationship-building
Is patient, mature, dependable, and non-reactive
