Good management, flexible schedules, fun atmosphere
Community Support Worker (Current Employee) – Calgary, AB – 3 January 2018
Currently working part-time, so I am not sure about benefits. Schedule is flexible, Team leaders do not micromanage, so you are on your own. Good atmosphere when we all meet.
I do know, however, that there is a high turnover for Team leader position (a supervisory role); one must assume something is not great there.
Normally, our schedule is stable, but they accomodate your needs, and always follow what the client wants. As for the client itself, the approach is always do what they wish to do: the point is to give them as much indepence as possible. Few coworkers drive the clients; most of the time you take transit with them (CBI does reimburse you for transit).
If you need training, they provide with it, and it's paid at the same rate as work.
Pros
Flexibility, paid training
Cons
Sometimes short notice about new clients
