About Us

Battlefords Residential Services Inc. (BRSI) is a community-based nonprofit organization supporting adults with intellectual and physical disabilities in the Battlefords. Through our group homes, supported living services and community day program, our team works to help the people we support live meaningful, inclusive lives in their community.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced disability services professional and people leader to join our management team as Program Coordinator.

This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for someone who understands the realities of supporting adults with intellectual disabilities and is ready to take the next step into a leadership role — or an experienced supervisor or manager within the disability/community services sector looking for a new opportunity.

What You’ll Do

The Program Coordinator provides leadership and oversight to ensure the people supported by BRSI receive high-quality, person-centred services.

• Working closely with the Senior Leadership Team, Group Home Managers and Direct Support Workers, you will:

• Provide leadership, guidance, coaching and support to managers and frontline staff.

• Oversee the development, implementation and review of person-centred plans and client programming.

• Help develop and monitor Behaviour Support Plans and strategies for individuals with complex support needs.

• Support teams in responding to behavioural, developmental, medical and social needs.

• Monitor service quality and ensure client documentation and support plans accurately reflect current needs.

• Work collaboratively with families, advocates, social workers, health-care professionals and other community partners.

• Participate in client admissions, transitions and service planning.

• Help identify staff training needs and provide or coordinate training.

• Participate in hiring, orientation, performance management and employee development.

• Support managers and staff in resolving challenging situations and making sound, person-centred decisions.

• Participate in BRSI's management on-call rotation.

The hours of work currently are Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. On-call responsibilities on a rotational basis- one weekend every 8 weeks. Monthly EDO.

Starting Salary - $61,480.00/annum
