If you have a passion for helping people and wish to collaborate with a group of like-minded individuals who are committed, hardworking and dedicated, we invite you to become part of our network of healthcare providers!

Developmental Services Worker (DSW) - Complex Care

Our clients are remarkable individuals seeking individualized support at home and in the community. They may be living with developmental disabilities, complex medical needs, behavioural challenges, the impacts of trauma, or other circumstances that affect their daily functioning, independence, and participation in everyday life.

As a Developmental Services Worker (DSW) – Complex Care, you will provide one-to-one support based on each client's unique needs, abilities, goals, and care plan. Support may include:

You would be a great fit with Spark if you are compassionate, dependable, organized, confident working independently, and comfortable adapting your approach to the needs of the individual you are supporting.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
