Together we can make a difference

At Main Street Community Services, we believe that our staff is our greatest asset and best resource for serving our Clients. Over the years, we have helped hundreds of families thanks to our dedicated team, who are at the heart of our mission, vision, and goals. As a member of our team, you’ll have the uniquely rewarding opportunity to help people grow and achieve their goals.

What We Offer

A Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Being champions for inclusion, we believe in incorporating equality, fairness, and respect into everything we do – both with our Clients and our staff. We also know that a diverse team fuelled by different perspectives makes us stronger and better able to serve our community. That’s why we are committed to fostering a healthy work environment and embracing the diversity within our community and our team.

Employment Benefits

We know that a hard-working team deserves high-quality and rewarding benefits. That’s why we provide a first-rate benefits package with comprehensive offerings for you and your family. From unexpected family illnesses to taking care of your mental wellness, we’re here to support you and help provide peace of mind.

Our full compensation package includes a competitive salary, health benefits, flexible scheduling to improve work-life balance, bereavement days, and, for management-level positions, a pension plan.

We also want to ensure that Client needs aren’t the only ones you’re addressing and that you take care of your own well-being. Our robust Employee Assistance Program provides team members with confidential access to a range of professional services to help with personal or professional challenges.

What Our Employees Have to Say

“The aspect of Main Street Community Services that I have appreciated over the many years I have worked here is the relationships fostered not only with the Clients but with the families as well. I have taken a lot of pride to give families the reassurance that they’re not alone in the care of their most vulnerable family members.”
-Tyler K.
“The most important thing MSCS offers the staff and Clients is opportunities. It’s something we tell every new hire. If you have an idea, let’s make it happen. This mentality has allowed our individuals in care to do amazing things, from camping trips to concerts, from trips to Niagara Falls to trips to Toronto. Providing these opportunities to the individuals in care is where my passion comes from.”
-Mike F
“I love being able to witness our individuals achieve new goals, and watch them as they develop new skills and abilities that others may have thought not possible.”
-Nicole S.
“Why do I love my job? That’s easy; I enjoy the environment I work in and the team I am a part of. We work really well together and our skills seem to complement each other. I often leave work with a smile on my face, feeling rewarded with the work we have done.”
-Dexter W.
“MSCS provides a fulfilling opportunity and career path by supporting those with developmental disabilities and exceptionalities, while the clinical department provides a flexible and supportive atmosphere.”
