We’re not a typical support service — we take the time to match each client with the right support worker to ensure consistent, quality care and stable employment.

Our person-centred approach means we focus on helping our members thrive in their communities through practical support, resources, and respectful relationships.

To succeed as a CPSN support worker, you need to genuinely align with our values: respect, trust, care, and helping clients reach their goals on their terms. We can train you on the technical skills — what really matters is your heart and commitment.
