Life Share Caregiver Opportunity (Arabic-Speaking)
Open Your Home. Share Your Life. Make a Difference.
We are seeking a compassionate and committed individual or couple to open their home and provide Life Share support to an adult with diverse support needs. This is a unique prospect to build a meaningful relationship while supporting someone to live a full life within a welcoming home environment.
The individual would benefit from a fully self-contained basement suite and is looking for a home where his privacy and independence can be respected while ensuring he has access to the support he needs. We are also open to speaking with applicants who may be willing to relocate to a home that can accommodate this arrangement.
About the Role As a Life Share Caregiver, you will play an important role in supporting the individual's daily living needs while promoting choice, independence, self-determination, and community inclusion. This is a live-in, 24-hour support arrangement; however, the individual sleeps well through the night and receives staffing supports during the day.
The successful caregiver(s) will: Support the individual's daily health, safety, and well-being
Foster independence, personal choice, and self-determination
Provide a safe, stable, and welcoming home setting
Support community participation and meaningful activities
Maintain open communication with the individual's support network

Practice trauma-informed approaches to care and support
Speak Arabic fluently and can communicate effectively with the individual
Understand and appreciate Arab culture, traditions, and family values
Can prepare traditional Arabic meals and engage in culturally meaningful activities

Respect and support the individual's Christian faith, which is important to both him and his family
To support the individual's comfort and personal preferences, we are seeking:
A single male caregiver
A single male caregiver with a roommate
A husband-and-wife caregiver team
Having some or all male support is important to the individual and will be given strong consideration during the matching process.
About the Individual This gentleman enjoys spending time with family, watching Arabic television and entertainment, drawing, spending time in nature, and relaxing in his own personal space. As he continues to build community connections and broaden his experiences, it is important that he has caregivers who can communicate comfortably with him and support him in ways that honour his cultural background, personal preferences, and goals.
Salary Range This is a contracted position, contract range is very valuable- lots of room for negotiation.
