Seeking Signing Support Workers in Duncan, Vancouver Island, BC
We are a team dedicated to supporting a Deaf individual to live a good life at home and in the community. We have immediate openings for one or two fluent signers who share our values of caring relationships, compassionate communication, supported inter-dependence, mutual respect, shared laughter and equality.

member.

You will provide up to 10 – 15 hours per week of tactful, compassionate home and community support 2-3 afternoons per week including weekends. You will assist the individual in anxiety management and activities of daily living. You will support
