Support Worker Central
About this resource
Finding compatible support workers to assist you or your family member with a disability can be challenging. Support Worker Central is an online database designed to match individuals, families and agencies with support workers in their communities.
Over the past few years many people have expressed a desire for a central website where individuals and families from all over British Columbia could connect with support workers in their communities. Support Worker Central is a one-year pilot project to test the effectiveness of a central BC-wide website. On supportworkercentral.com, families and individuals post job profiles, entering specific criteria that will be matched against support workers who have set up profiles on the site. Agencies who offer support worker services will also be able to advertise their services on the site for those that don't wish to hire their own support workers. Agencies can also post job profiles to recruit potential support workers.
