Important Information Before Applying
Applicant Acknowledgement
I understand that the Respite Companion Program is a paid independent contractor opportunity and not a volunteer role or an employment position with Niagara Region. Hours are variable, not guaranteed, and should only be relied upon as supplemental income. I confirm that I have my own vehicle and a valid Canadian driver's licence. I understand that clients served through the Respite Companion Program are living with dementia, memory loss, and/or related cognitive changes, and that this role requires patience, flexibility, respect, and a person-centred approach. I also understand that approval as a Respite Companion Contractor is subject to successfully completing all required screening, interview, orientation, training, and practical learning components.
