Great entry level position, not much room for advancement

Residential Relief Counsellor (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 14 November 2019

Amazing amazing staff. They will support you from your first day to your last. They are all amazing women to work with. Management at different homes need some help as they pick and choose favourites. They work on a seniority system so if you are not next for a full-time opportunity, you may need to move on. Some staff have been working there for 8-10 years before they even get a full-time position. Overall a great place to learn about the field and start your career.

A high paced and engaging enviroment

Women's Shelter Relief Worker (Former Employee) - Toronto, On. - 15 December 2012

It was a very high paced work enviroment.I learned a lot about the resiliance of the women in the shelter and myself.The hardest part of the job was to see a client fall between the cracks of the system and the impact it had on the quality of thier lives in spite of all thier/my efforts, heart breaking.The most enjoyable part of the job was to be able to engage with the women and celebrate life or the day through group activities like playing games, doing yoga or dancing and laughing.
