EIS (Edmonton Integrated Services Ltd.) is seeking a Supportive Living Roommate (Support Home Operator/SHO) with demonstrated experience working directly with adults with developmental disabilities who can provide a safe, secure, and highly supervised home environment with an inclusive, caring, and supportive friend/roommate experience.

The successful candidate will be supporting an individual with complex behavioural needs who requires continuous supervision and cannot be left alone. If you are a caring, reliable, and highly attentive individual with the qualifications outlined below, we would love to hear from you.

As a Supportive Living Roommate, you will receive a flat monthly payment for care and support while making a meaningful, positive difference in an individual’s life.

EIS is a private agency committed to the safety, wellbeing, and inclusion of Individuals with Developmental Disabilities. Our agency develops and offers a variety of services and programs including Independent and Supported Living, Residential, and Community Access and Inclusion Programs.

About the Supportive Living Program The focus of this program is to provide an alternative for Individuals to live in an environment that supports their development and growth within a homelike atmosphere. Individuals are provided with a place to live—usually within a supportive home—and the necessary supports to thrive both within the setting and the broader community.

The Supportive Roommate provides developmental supports and guidance in a less “family-like” setting and more of a “roommate or companion” model.



Supports are designed to promote independence and community inclusion while ensuring safety, consistency, and emotional regulation.
