About DASC

Dartmouth Adult Services Centre (DASC) has been serving the Dartmouth community for nearly 60 years. DASC is a non-profit day program and business centre supporting persons with intellectual disabilities. We serve hundreds of people annually through our inclusive community employment, social enterprise, enrichment, life enhancement, active lifestyles, recreation, individual support, and youth programs. Learn more about us at www.dasc-ns.ca!

Our Mission is to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities to become self-advocates through program and employment opportunities.

Our workplace is an inclusive and supportive space, so you will embrace the organization’s mission in serving persons with intellectual disabilities. With program staff, you will welcome DASC participants in the morning, and help facilitate their pick-up later in the day.

  • Experience working with persons with disabilities would be considered an asset
  • Valid driver’s license, a reliable vehicle necessary for work related duties
  • Customer service experience
  • Finance-related tasks such as petty cash administration, record-keeping, management of databases, posting of accounts payable
  • Bookkeeping experience considered an asset
  • Reception/office management experience such as stocking/ordering of supplies, mail collection and distribution
  • Current and Valid Criminal Record Check, Vulnerable Persons Check and Proof of Covid 19 Vaccination

What We Offer

We have a dedicated team who enjoy what they do – this translates into a happy and healthy work environment. Hours of work are 8AM – 4PM, (this position is 3-4 days a week), with free parking on-site. We have a great benefits package including a comprehensive medical/dental, pension, and employee assistance plan. We believe in supporting our staff by providing in-house training opportunities to ensure we can support our clients to the best of our ability.
