The Program

At Taproot Community Support Services, we’re a 100 percent employee-owned organization through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). Every employee is an owner from their first day, with a voice in shaping Taproot’s future and the opportunity to share in employee ownership dividends.

As a Certified B Corporation, we harness business for good. Since 1983 we’ve grown steadily, now delivering support across Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario through more than 90 contracts.

Our 800-plus employee-owners live by five shared values: we are stronger together, we lead with optimism, we embrace challenges, we respect every voice, and we go above and beyond. Guided by these principles, we deliver more than 125 community-based services each year. We walk alongside about 1,600 children, youth, families, and people with diverse abilities, with revenues exceeding $70 million.

This program supports three individuals with developmental disabilities and mental illness, two of whom are non-verbal. A strong understanding of both developmental disabilities and mental health concerns is considered a significant asset.

Challenging behaviours can occur on a daily basis and may include physical aggression such as kicking, spitting, and hair pulling.

They also, mentor and advocate for the client, and empower them to be self reliant and confident. This position reports to the Team Leader. This position requires Union membership with CUPE 2559.

A good working understanding of individuals with developmental disabilities and mental illness, including, individuals that are non-verbal, is beneficial.
