About EIS

At Edmonton Integrated Services Ltd., we are committed to the safety, wellbeing, and inclusion of individuals with developmental disabilities. Our vision is a community of choice, safety, rights, diversity, and inclusion.

If you are passionate about supporting individuals in achieving their full potential, we encourage you to apply today.

About the Role

We are seeking reliable and motivated Community Disability Support Practitioners to join our team. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys meaningful work, values flexibility, and thrives on working independently while supporting individuals both at home and in the community.

A Day in the Life

Support individuals in participating in community activities, social events, and personal development goals. Encourage independence, self-advocacy, and community inclusion. Assist with daily living skills such as personal care, meal preparation, and medication reminders. Communicate effectively with individuals, families, caregivers, and supervisors to ensure consistent, person-centered support. Maintain accurate documentation of supports provided.

Schedule & Hours

Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (no evenings or weekends are required, though weekend and evening availability is considered an asset).

Travel time and expenses are not reimbursed, so this position is best suited for individuals who are comfortable with independent commuting. Caseloads are assigned based on your availability and client needs. The rate of pay is higher than similar roles in our other programs to reflect this flexibility.
