JOB SUMMARY

The Scope Society of Alberta is a not-for-profit agency that supports individuals with developmental disabilities as well as mental health concerns. Our complex needs programs provide individualized programming and assistance to adults with challenging needs and high behaviours. We are seeking coverage for a variety of shifts, including daytime, overnight and weekend coverage. The Scope Society of Alberta provides wraparound 24/7 support to these individuals in their homes and in the community.

  • Ability to work in a team environment. Strong communication and organizational skills and the ability to establish collaborative and effective relationships with others are required for this position.
  • Ability to work in a high-stress environment where crisis situations may be imminent, utilizing strong crisis intervention and prevention skills as well as sound knowledge of mental health diagnoses and developmental disabilities to react and intervene appropriately and safely.
  • Training in First Aid and CPR, CPI (Crisis Prevention and Intervention Training) and Vecova Medication Administration are an asset.
  • Provision of a criminal record check with vulnerable sector check is required for all employees prior to starting shifts.


We offer a supportive team environment, flexible hours, training, and competitive wages and benefits.
