Simaril is a Winnipeg-based non-profit organization that has supported people to build full, meaningful lives since 1987.

Our supports are tailored to each person’s goals, preferences, strengths, and level of support needed. We provide residential and community-based programs, including Residential Living, Supported Independent Living, Home Share, Respite, and Cluster services.

Across our programs, we focus on helping people build greater choice, independence, connection, and belonging in everyday life.

Our work is guided by three values:
Respecting, Empowering, and Uniting.

We believe a good life is shaped by the freedom to make choices, build relationships, feel connected, and belong.

Our role is to create the conditions that make that possible. We support people to build lives that reflect who they are, what matters to them, and how they want to live.

All of that purpose guides how we work, how we make decisions, and how we grow.

As an Outreach Support Mentor, you will provide one-on-one support to individuals within our Supported Independent Living, Outreach, and Respite programs, both in their homes and in the community.

During your shift, you may support multiple individuals throughout the day, helping them build independence, develop life skills, access community resources, attend appointments, and participate in meaningful activities.

Although you work one-on-one with the individuals you support, you are not alone. Outreach Support Mentors collaborate closely with other team members to ensure the needs outlined in support plans are met and to empower individuals to achieve their personal goals.
