Rygiel Supports for Community Living believes that communities are stronger when everyone belongs. We support people with developmental disabilities to live the lives they choose — building relationships, growing independence, and being part of vibrant neighbourhoods. Our work is guided by five values:
Respect, Awareness, Integrity, Person-Centered practice, and Community.

You will blend your experience and leadership in the Developmental Services Sector, and support Rygiel’s mission to enrich the lives of the people we support through relationships, independence, belonging, and advocacy. Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Person-Directed Case Coordination
  • Carry primary case responsibility, including transitional-age youth and adults with complex support profiles, dual diagnosis, or behavioural support needs.
  • Maintain regular face‑to‑face engagement with each person on the caseload to build relationships, observe directly, and ensure continuity of care.
  • Lead person‑directed planning, including goal setting, support mapping, and ongoing plan adjustment as needs evolve.
• Team Supervision & Coaching
  • Supervise the Direct Support Professionals assigned to the caseload, including scheduling, day‑to‑day direction, performance management, and ongoing support.
  • Provide coaching, mentorship, and modelling to Social Service Workers as appropriate, building their confidence and skill in person‑directed, harm reduction, and trauma‑informed practice.
• Quality, Compliance & Documentation
  • Ensure that supports are delivered in compliance with the Quality Assurance Measures (QAM) and all applicable regulatory and agency requirements.
  • Monitor and review documentation, including progress notes, behavioural data, and incident reports, ensuring records are accurate, timely, and complete.

  • Respond to emergent issues at the locations during office hours, providing direction and support to staff as situations arise.
  • Ensure that each location has what it needs to operate safely and to deliver consistent, person‑centred support.
• Interdisciplinary Collaboration
  • Contribute to interdisciplinary planning, drawing on clinical, behavioural, and community expertise, and collaborating with Registered Behaviour Analysts, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers.
  • Participate in team meetings, case reviews, and interdisciplinary planning in service of each person’s goals.
  • Engage with families, external agencies, and community partners with professionalism and a commitment to Rygiel’s values.
