Support Worker jobs in Abbotsford, BC

Make a difference. Lead with purpose.

For more than 60 years, MACL has supported people with developmental disabilities to live full and meaningful lives in their communities. We're looking for a Program Supervisor who shares that commitment and wants to lead a team that makes a real difference every day.

This is a leadership role for someone who enjoys working with people, building strong teams, and creating services where individuals can thrive. You'll provide direction and support to employees, work closely with families and community partners, and help ensure the home is safe, welcoming, and running smoothly.

No two days are exactly the same. You might be coaching staff, helping solve a complex situation, collaborating with a family member, reviewing support plans, responding to an unexpected issue, or celebrating a milestone with someone we support.

The people we support are unique, and some have complex behavioural, health, mental health, or support needs. Success in this role comes from remaining calm under pressure, supporting staff through challenging situations, building positive relationships, and helping teams find practical solutions while maintaining a safe and respectful environment.

What the role looks like

You'll be responsible for:

• Leading, mentoring, and supporting a team of frontline employees
• Building positive relationships with individuals, families, and community professionals
• Coordinating staffing, schedules, and day-to-day program operations
• Supporting individualized plans and quality services
• Ensuring compliance with licensing, health and safety, and organizational standards
• Participating in an on-call rotation and providing leadership during urgent situations
• Supporting a culture of accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement

You'll likely be a good fit if you:

• Have experience supporting people with developmental disabilities or other complex support needs
• Enjoy leading people and helping others succeed
• Can balance compassion with accountability
• Are comfortable making decisions and taking ownership
• Stay organized and adaptable when priorities shift
• Can navigate conflict and difficult conversations in a respectful, productive way
• Believe that every person deserves respect, choice, and opportunities to participate fully in their community

Why MACL?

• Meaningful work with a direct impact on people's lives
• Competitive BCGEU wages and benefits
• Opportunities for professional growth and leadership development
• A supportive team environment where your voice matters
• A well-established organization with deep roots in the community

Additional Requirements

• Previous leadership experience in community living, social services, health care, or a related field is an asset
• A valid Class 4 Driver's Licence (or ability to obtain) and reliable vehicle are required
• Successful applicants must complete required criminal record screening
• Some MACL programs support children and youth. Employees assigned to those services must obtain and maintain a Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) HUB clearance
• At this time, we are primarily seeking candidates who live in the Fraser Valley, including Mission, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and surrounding communities
