EMPLOYER OF THE MONTH – JULY 2025

 

Tell us about your business/organization and what makes you stand out as an employer?

Bonaventure Support Services is a dynamic and expanding social service agency with locations within the Central Vancouver Island. We offer a broad range of services and opportunities to adults, children and youth who live with diverse abilities. Our focus is person centered with goal directed options, encouraging full participation in community. At Bonaventure, we foster a culture rooted in continual growth, honesty, and transparency, where diversity, inclusion, and a commitment to accountability and reliability are highly valued.

How many employees do you have?

What do you look for in a new employee?

At Bonaventure Support Services, we believe in fostering an inclusive, collaborative, and dynamic workplace where excellence, innovation, and well-being are at the core of everything we do. As a growing social service agency on Vancouver Island, we value teamwork, respect, and a shared sense of purpose.

At Bonaventure, we look for team members who embody a growth mindset—continually seeking feedback, learning, and embracing fresh challenges—while practicing unwavering integrity and transparency by sharing information openly and owning mistakes. They champion inclusion by valuing diverse perspectives and ensuring every voice is heard, and they exhibit steadfast accountability and reliability through consistent follow-through and clear progress updates. Such individuals foster a supportive, team-first atmosphere, celebrate collective wins, and mentor peers, all while nurturing a community and service-oriented spirit that aligns personal purpose with our mission. They thrive on adaptability and resilience, staying solution-focused under pressure and pivoting gracefully when circumstances change, and they communicate with empathy and clarity, tailoring messages to varied audiences and listening actively to ensure shared understanding.

If you’re seeking a purpose-driven workplace where your contributions truly make a difference, we invite you to be part of our vibrant and supportive team at Bonaventure!

What advice would you give someone who wants to work for your organization?

The advice we have for job candidates is to review our website and social-media posts and be prepared during the interview to explain how your experience, values, or lived perspective advances our goal of “creating a supportive community where people feel valued and empowered.” Have two or three stories that demonstrate compassion and boundaries: e.g., de-escalating an individual’s anxiety while keeping documentation and privacy intact. Be sure to mention any trauma-informed or Person-Centred Planning training you’ve completed. Our roles require strong professional documentation skills. We also recommend emphasizing how your experience with documentation can benefit the team or individuals for supported goals or consistent care.

Do you anticipate hiring in the next 6 months? If so, for what types of positions?

Our agency is dynamic and is ever evolving to suit the needs of our supported individuals and employees. While it is hard to predict hiring, we do anticipate having open positions in the next 6 months.

What is the best way for someone to apply if they are interested in working for your organization?

The best way to apply is through our website: www.bonaventuresupport.com via our Careers Postings. You are welcome to apply for a position that best suits your availability and interest!
