Testimonials
As soon as I started my placement with CLH for my PSW course, I knew this was where I wanted to work. The working environment is so positive as everybody works together to empower the people we support. It has also been a great learning experience for me as I am very new to this field; the training I have received from my teams has been invaluable.
Direct Support Professional, 6 months - CLH Developmental Support Services
I feel beyond lucky to come to work with an amazing team each day in a welcoming and safe environment; a place where I know the individuals are cared for and respected as they deserve. Each day I come to work in our Supported Living Homes, I am reminded why I love my job so much - the day-to-day challenges that strengthen our teams, the flexibility and creativity that it calls for, and knowing that I am helping someone reach their goals - no matter how big or small.
Team Lead, 6 years - CLH Developmental Support Services
I have worked with CLH DSS for over 32 years. I started as a part-time worker, and to the full-time position I hold now (Community Participation Supports). CLH has been a supporting employer that encouraged my desire to advance my education further, they worked with me as a parent and the need to support my family and work at the same time. I have seen people grow from young adults into productive people in the community with the help of Life Skills and other programs offered. I'm proud to say I work for CLH DSS as we have been a promoter of independence and choice.
