Staff Feedback - Working at Chimo

 

We asked our staff what it is like to be a part of the Chimo team and here is what they had to say:

Meet Sean...
"The reason I came to work at Chimo was because of Chimo’s great reputation within the community. Once here the reasons I continue to love working at Chimo is because of the high respect that is given to all of the employees and the youth we serve, the great opportunities we provide the youth we serve like going on a ski holiday to Jasper or camping trips to YoWoChAs. The people we work with(starting up in management, full time and relief staff) are so unbelievable and caring. The atmosphere within all Chimo programs is fun and supportive and Chimo really appreciates their staff and shows that appreciation in various ways throughout the year. I love working with youth and being able to assist them in achieving their goals and moving forward to independence."
Meet Christy...
"I like to work at Chimo because you can tell that everyone here likes their jobs. The bosses are laid back, friendly, and approachable, and if your own boss is not available to help you, another will always step in and take care of any of your concerns. My particular job in Chimo is a flex time job, which enables me to work whenever it fits best with my client’s schedules and needs. I also enjoy the people I work with in the office. They take the time to talk to you when you need to talk, remember your birthday, go for lunch, ask you about your weekend. Because everyone enjoys their jobs, they also enjoy each other."
