Their responsibilities often include supporting residents, assisting with daily activities, enforcing community guidelines, and organizing events.

This role offers valuable exposure to the social services or housing sector, and interns frequently have opportunities to attend team meetings, participate in training sessions, and receive mentorship. The experience is structured to help you develop practical skills and a deeper understanding of residential care, which can be beneficial for advancing to full-time positions in the field.
