Becoming a group residence intermediate resource
As a group residence/intermediate resource, you manage a resource for children or adults with varying levels of intellectual disability or pervasive developmental disorder, including autism, but you do not live with the users. These individuals have major difficulties every day whose intensity and frequency require constant care.
Your role as manager of an intermediate resource (Group residence) is to manage the resource and its personnel in order to respond to the needs of the users, in collaboration with WMRC staff.
In order to become an intermediate resource (Group residence), you must:
- be one or two people wishing to invest themselves in our users;
- be in good physical and mental health;
- have completed a college or university degree related to our mission and/or significant experience in intellectual disability and/or pervasive developmental disorders;
- be free of any criminal record;
- be financially able to rent or buy a residence that can welcome up to six users with individual rooms conforming to current standards;
- recruit and ensure 24/7 staffing, and assume responsibility for its management;
- manage users' belongings and the resource's finances;
- be available to respond to users' needs (medical follow-ups, clinic visits, emergency, etc.)
- be ready to collaborate with WMRC and users' natural family members;
- participate in all training considered relevant by WMRC.
