Staff

Our Staff are completely committed to their jobs and help to make the Society what it is. They generally come to us with a Community Support Worker Certificate or equivalent. Many staff that are hired based on past experience rather than education pursue their certificates while they work full time. Appropriate education and experience is a qualification for promotion to the position of Program Coordinator. The Society offers regular in-service staff training opportunities and many out-of-service educational sessions in order to ensure that our employees stay current and proficient in the discharge of their duties. Our Staff are committed to the mission of the Society. If you are interested in joining our team, please see our careers section.
