Full Time Life Skills Support Worker

Adeara Recovery Centre is a long-term, residential recovery program for women. We help women in addiction create lasting change through our accredited, faith-based program. As a Christian organization we are guided by the love of Christ from the day-to-day operations to the programming we deliver, to the women and their children we serve. We are passionate about providing a clinically sound and faith-based recovery program and ministering to the whole person through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our approach and actions are rooted in biblical principles, our ultimate source of truth and guidance. We endeavor to offer the opportunity to share God’s love in a compassionate and caring environment while accepting those we serve for who they are, their uniqueness and their diversity.

• Our vision is to see women in addiction experience freedom through a life of recovery.
• Our mission is to empower and equip women to live in sustainable recovery through hope, healing, and restoration by providing long-term, faith-based programming, counselling, and life skills support.
• Our values are serving women and their children with love, compassion, dignity, respect, integrity and accountability.

Our program is designed to walk with women through the process of finding hope, healing and restoration. We believe the recovery journey is a lifelong process, and while the journey begins at Adeara it does not end upon the completion of the one-year program – we continue to walk with women beyond the scope of the residential program as they continue to pursue a life of recovery.
