HOME SHARE CONTRACTOR

We welcome applications from the New Westminster area.

At Pacific Coast Community Resources, we have provided personalized services to people living with diverse abilities since 1987. Today we offer our services throughout many communities in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, and the Kootenays. We offer a wide range of dynamic and comprehensive programs and are committed to:

The values and principles of inclusive community living
Providing person-centered services that respect the person’s choice and dignity
Ensuring cultural diversity and lifestyle choices are recognized and incorporated when developing supports
Empowering people with disabilities to live the life they envision

Home Sharing is a residential option that provides safe, nurturing, community-based, shared living arrangements for adults with diverse abilities. The service is provided through you, the contractors, who welcome a person into their home, offering a warm, inclusive environment and customized, person-centred support. A supported person will live in unique and varied family care arrangements such as sharing a house, or an apartment or living in a suite within the home. This model of support creates opportunities for natural relationships to develop and promotes the full citizenship of the person through inclusion within their community. A Home Share Provider may assist with life skills, meal preparation, personal care, medication administration, relationship building, and accessing community resources. The key to a successful, long-term arrangement is matching a person with a Home Share Provider based on a variety of factors including personality, lifestyle, and interests.

Home Sharing offers people who need support the opportunity to choose their ideal caregivers and determine the lifestyle and environment that best suits their unique interests, support requirements, and preferences.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Training spans the agency: PCCR runs development opportunities within individual programs, services and across the organization.
Vancouver support workers receive defined terms: the advertised adult-service role lists $27.53-$31.57 hourly pay and medical, dental and vision benefits.
Career tracks span delivery and management: PCCR describes entry-level support positions alongside coordinator and program manager roles.

What critics are saying

Home-sharing rates are externally constrained: Community Living BC sets the fees PCCR pays providers.
Vancouver support work carries health responsibilities: the role includes medication administration and recording personal health information.
Home-sharing contractors lack employee benefits: PCCR requires them to handle their own taxes and pension contributions.

What makes Pacific Coast Community Resources unique

Home placements prioritize compatibility: PCCR matches home-sharing participants and caregivers by personality, lifestyle and interests.
Employment support goes beyond job searches: PCCR supports customized employment, self-employment and social enterprise for participants.
External quality review is established: PCCR has held rehabilitation-service accreditation since 2004.
