A little bit about the Summer Program…
The Bruce Awad Summer Program is a structured day program for individuals with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) between the ages of 6-21 years of age. We strongly encourage you to view the links below as well as this website so you have a better idea of who we are and what we do. Look inside our classrooms, see the activity, meet the staff — watch the video here.
We offer a one-to-one client-to-staff ratio for a safe and happy environment. The program takes place in a classroom setting as well as out in the community including public swimming facilities. Our goal is to maintain or improve the individual’s functioning level, existing skills, continue the individual’s school program or routine and to provide relief for the families during the summer months. To achieve our goal we must put together the best possible team of individuals.
Our hiring policy requires all staff members (18 yrs and over) to have a Vulnerable Sector Police clearance and that any final offer of employment will be pending the results of the clearance. All employees also require valid CPR and First Aid certifications as well as Behavior Management Systems (BMS) training. ASI will provide the BMS training at no cost to the employee. You will also be required to participate in swimming outings which take place in a public swimming pool. Our hiring process begins mid March and will continue until all available positions have been filled. Please note that, due to the large number of applications received, we will not contact you unless you are invited for a mandatory personal interview. Interviews will take place starting mid March into April.
We hire about 60 to 70 support workers each year. About half are usually returning staff from previous years. We also provide 24 to 34 hours of paid specialized training which usually takes place over two weeks (in the evenings) in June. We also hire a limited number of Student Support Workers. Students should be 16 years of age or older and be enrolled in a Secondary School. Student Support Workers assist the Support Workers/Supervisors with client support or other tasks as assigned. Rate of pay is $16.55 per hour plus the potential for an end of summer bonus. Interested Students can complete the Support Worker Application below.
