The Family Support Institute is pleased to announce the launch of its new initiative, Support Worker Central, an online database designed to match individuals, families and agencies with support workers in their communities. The website is www.supportworkercentral.com.
Over the past few years many people have expressed a desire for a central website where individuals and families and from all over British Columbia could connect with qualified support workers in their communities for personal support needs and community participation.
Support Worker Central is a one-year pilot project aimed at testing the effectiveness of a centralized BC-wide website. On Support Worker Central, families and individuals post jobs, entering specific criteria that will be matched against support workers who have set up profiles on the site.
Agencies offering support worker services can advertise their services on Support Worker Central, as well as post jobs to recruit potential support workers.
The success of the website is dependent upon getting the word out to families and potential support workers and you can help us do that by sharing this exciting news with others and by displaying the attached poster.
The Family Support Institute is a province-wide organization whose purpose is to strengthen and support families faced with the extraordinary circumstances that come with having a family member who has a disability. We believe that families are the best resource available to support one another. Directed by families, the Family Support Institute provides information, training and province-wide networking to assist families and their communities to build upon and share their strengths.
