The Opportunity

CarePros is hiring for our Red Deer, Alberta location. This role is most commonly in a group home setting providing care to children and youth with complex behavioural needs. At CarePros, our programs are unlike what you would expect in a traditional group home setting. Our programs are structured around the individual child/youth that you will be caring for, with a 2-1 (staff to youth ratio). This provides a safe environment where you can develop a meaningful relationship with the youth you are responsible for caring for. You will report directly to the Program Supervisor of your assigned program, who will be your key source of training, guidance, and support through your journey at CarePros.
