Our Purpose

At Spark, we're on a mission to make a difference in the way community healthcare is done. As a leading healthcare organization, we are dedicated to supporting our clients with the autonomy to steer their healthcare journey and equipping them with the necessary resources to take control of their health.

Spark is an innovative, award-winning, inclusive and equity focused organization that matches diverse clients to the best one to one care in the community. If you have a passion for helping people and wish to collaborate with a group of like-minded individuals who are committed, hardworking and dedicated, we invite you to become part of our network of healthcare providers!

Developmental Service Worker

Our clients are seeking healthcare professionals with a passion for making a difference in the lives of those who have experienced trauma, faced complex medical diagnoses, or require support in their personal development. If this describes you, we invite you to join our team.

Our clients are remarkable individuals seeking care from professionals with a wide range of expertise. They rely on compassionate and dependable individuals like you to assist them with:

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
Ensuring client safety while participating in community and home based activities.
Behavioural Support and redirection
Other care tasks include: organization, meal preparation, transportation, emotional support, light housekeeping, and other daily tasks.

You would be the ideal candidate to work with us if you are someone who is reliable, organized, and can work independently. Care is tailored to each person, so each position is unique. Some clients need mainly in-home support. Others require support participating in community activities. Whatever the circumstances, we want people who will genuinely care about their wellbeing.

Requirements:

Valid Standard First Aid and CPR Level C
Smartphone with a data plan
Vulnerable Sector Check completed within the last 6 months

Assets:

University and/or College education in a related field
Drivers License G class with access to a vehicle
Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Training (NVCI)

Hours:

Flexible and client dependent scheduling options are available.

Caregiver has full autonomy in organizing and managing their schedule and availability based on client matches.

Rate of Pay:
$23-$28/hour

Why Choose Spark?

Access to Spark University.
Access to Spark network of caregivers and therapists.
Being an independent contractor enables you to have flexible scheduling options and potential tax benefits.
Flexibility to choose clients based on your availability.
Networking opportunities and social events.

Whatever our clients' age, background, or circumstances, we help them choose the perfect fit from our handpicked team of passionate, skilled and committed health care providers. As a healthcare provider with Spark, you have a voice in the matching process. We believe that your input will foster the best long-term relationships with your clients. At Spark, you'll have flexibility, autonomy and a team who truly cares about you.

Whatever your age, ability, orientation, ethnicity, race, culture, religion or gender identity - you are welcome. Our community is stronger and more vibrant when it is more diverse and inclusive.

Our recruitment process may use artificial intelligence (AI) technology to assist in reviewing applications while supporting efficiency and consistency. All applications are also reviewed by our recruitment team to ensure fair and equitable consideration.

We are committed to a fair, equitable, inclusive, and accessible application and selection process. Requests for accommodation can be made at any stage of the recruitment process. If you require accommodations during the recruitment process, please let us know.
