Personal care may include support with activities of daily living, such as feeding, mobility, toileting, and catheterization. On occasion, Educational Assistants may be assigned to assist students with other identified needs such as academic, socio-emotional and/or cultural to facilitate student achievement and/or their integration into the regular classroom environment.

Preference will be given to candidates with a community college diploma as an Educational Assistant, Developmental Service Worker or Child and Youth Worker
Community College Diploma in a related discipline (i.e., Social Service Worker)
Other diploma/degrees will be considered with relevant experience of 3 years or more
Experience working with students in an educational setting and/or with special needs is preferred.
Consideration will be given to candidates with a Personal Support Worker certificate or equivalent with relevant experience
Relevant lived experience of 5 years or more

In addition, the following would be an asset:

First Aid Training
Autism intervenor course or experience working with children with autism
Ability to build rapport with students, to work collaboratively with staff and students, and to implement student programs as directed by the teacher
Demonstrated knowledge of the factors that influence student achievement and/or behaviour, and appropriate strategies to prevent, manage and de-escalate student behaviour
Knowledge of, and ability to implement, Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) strategies
Understanding of program accommodations and modifications to meet the diverse needs of students with learning and behaviour challenges
Awareness and adherence to confidentiality and privacy matters
Responsibilities may include lifting, toileting, feeding, managing student behaviours, preparation of learning materials and implementing Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and Behaviour Support and Safety Plans.

Must have 2-3 days availability per week to pick up shifts Monday – Friday between 8:00 am – 4:00 pm.
