Application question(s):

This role often involves helping clients in very sensitive and emotional situations (such as trauma, hoarding, or grief). How would you ensure you remain compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental while still completing the work? Are you comfortable working in challenging environments that may include unpleasant odours, rodents, biohazards (bodily fluids, rodent waste), or extreme clutter?
(If yes, you may briefly explain why you feel prepared for this type of work.)

This role requires heavy lifting (up to 50 lbs), standing for long periods, and performing physically demanding tasks. Are you able to meet these requirements? Do you have reliable transportation to job sites, which may vary within a 100km radius around Kemptville? Why do you want to work with Emdecon Inc. and what about this type of work appeals to you?
