A Job that Changes Lives

At L'Arche, people with and without intellectual disabilities, live, work and learn together, creating communities of friendship and belonging.  Assistants find their time at L’Arche to be filled with meaning, growth, friendship, challenge, and fun.  Assistants come to live in L’Arche often for one year.  For some, L’Arche is a career.

Through friendship, meaningful work, fun social activities, and home life, Assistants and Core Members (persons with intellectual disabilities) build communities of belonging together.  Assistants support Core Members in their everyday lives through: 
  • Friendship and Sharing Life– prepare and eat meals together, live together in a L’Arche home, spend time going on outings, hang out together, plan celebrations, share spirituality
  • Providing direct care and personal support– help someone to get dressed, give medication, assist with mobility and appointments
  • Supporting in daily activities – drive someone to work, shop for groceries, run errands, keep the house clean
  • Sharing  talents and gifts – participate in and help to organize community activities and events

While there is no particular background or experience required to succeed in the role, we find that a desire to support others, to be part of a team, to experience community life, to develop friendships and to discover our shared human spirituality makes for a great Assistant experience.
