Job Description:
Job Description Job Description We are seeking a dedicated,
compassionate, and dependable Special Needs Support Worker to
provide high-quality, individualized care and assistance to
individuals with intellectual, developmental, and/or physical
disabilities. This position focuses on supporting clients in their
everyday lives—both at home and in the community—by helping them
achieve greater independence, dignity, and social inclusion. Daily
responsibilities include assisting with personal hygiene tasks such
as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and feeding; performing
light housekeeping duties and meal preparation; providing
medication reminders; and offering support in mobility and other
health-related needs. In addition to home care, the Support Worker
will also accompany clients to medical appointments, community
events, recreational activities, educational programs, errands, and
social outings, helping to ensure they remain actively involved and
engaged in their communities. The role may also include teaching or
reinforcing life skills such as cooking, budgeting, time
management, and appropriate social behaviors. This position
requires the ability to build trusting relationships with clients
and their families, work effectively as part of a care team, follow
individualized care and behavior support plans, and respond
appropriately to a variety of emotional and behavioral needs.
Patience, empathy, emotional resilience, and strong problem-solving
skills are crucial, especially when handling challenging behaviors
or crisis situations in a calm, professional manner. Candidates
should be reliable, organized, and comfortable working
independently as well as under supervision. A valid driver’s
license and reliable transportation are typically required to
assist with community integration. Previous experience in a
caregiving, direct support, or special education setting is highly
valued, but not always required. Training may be provided for the
right individual with a strong work ethic and genuine interest in
supporting people with special needs. This role is ideal for
someone who finds deep meaning in helping others, who believes in
promoting inclusion and human dignity, and who wants to make a
lasting, positive impact in the lives of individuals and families.
Flexible hours may be available, including full-time, part-time,
and weekend shifts, depending on client needs.
