Community Living Alternative Services (CLAS) is committed to promoting the development and well being of individuals who have developmental disabilities to strengthen positive relationships between individuals and their community, and to promote inclusive living. We achieve this by providing a variety of services through our compassionate and dedicated staff community.

We are looking for a highly motivated, committed, and person-centered individual to join CLAS as an Outreach Support Worker in a unique Enhanced/Complex Needs support model. The current shift available is Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Position Summary: This is a front-line community disability services role that has responsibility to support and facilitate community access (outings, appointments, etc.) and the development of skills and competencies that will assist persons with disabilities to pursue and fulfill their goals, objectives and aspirations. Unlike many Outreach positions, this one is focused on supporting individuals with a higher range of complex needs.
