NHPSG Society is a Non-Profit Society and receives funding from The Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) and School District 42. We are also a member in good standing with the Chamber of Commerce serving Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.
A support care worker with experience in this field is needed to join a team implementing an in-home intervention program for a youth affected with Autism \ complex needs.

The youth that you will be working with is semi-verbal and has the ability to learn. There are times when this youth has challenging behaviours with complex needs and therefore it is advantageous for the incumbent to be able to handle such situations and think on their feet, to redirect the youth and to follow the behaviour plans.
CPI or Mandt certification is preferable as well as a clean drivers abstract, first aid certification and training in autism. A criminal record check will also be needed. More information on this opportunity will be provided once we have an interview with the potential candidate.
