Community Living is not just a sector – it's a movement dedicated to empowering people with diverse abilities to lead meaningful, connected lives within their chosen communities. Throughout British Columbia, more than 1,200 Community Living organizations deliver essential supports and services, helping individuals to thrive with dignity, respect and inclusion.
These organizations provide person-centered services ranging from residential care to employment support, day programs and skills development. The focus on individualized care helps people discover and live their best lives every day. However, significant workforce challenges continue to strain the delivery of these critical services.
To address this, Community Living BC has launched a province-wide recruitment campaign aimed at raising awareness of the unique opportunities within the Community Living sector. By featuring stories of people who have found rewarding careers within this field, the campaign showcases how returning workers, newcomers to Canada and recent graduates have built fulfilling careers in this vital area.
"We are seeking individuals passionate about making a difference and who aspire to join a truly inclusive, supportive workplace," said a spokesperson for the campaign. "Our communities need dedicated people ready to embrace life-changing roles. We want to show them that they too could excel in this work."
The importance of new recruitment cannot be understated.
"Bringing in new staff is critical to our ability to meet the growing needs of our communities," they added. "The impact of our work is profound, and we are eager to welcome more team members who are committed to enhancing the lives of others."
