- Build strong, respectful relationships with participants, ensuring their dignity and safety at all times

**Key Responsibilities Include**:

- Overnight monitoring and low-demand support
- Personal care or assistance if needed during the night
- Light domestic duties as required (before or after sleepover period)
- Accurate documentation and reporting

- Experience supporting individuals with psychosocial disability, mental health, behavioral, or complex needs
- A compassionate and calm presence—especially important during overnight shifts
- Strong communication and documentation skills
- Current Driver’s License and reliable, insured vehicle (preferred)
- Ability to work independently and follow overnight procedures
