Community Living Durham North (CLDN) is searching for a Program Director.

Community Living Durham North (CLDN) was established over 50 years ago by a group of parents of intellectually disabled youth to provide support with a focus on living in the community. Since then, the agency has grown offering a wide variety of programs including residential supports, independent living supports, respite support, and community access programs.

The purpose of our organization today is to support people who have an intellectual disability to live, work and enjoy life in the community within which they live. We believe that people who have disabilities must be empowered to:

· Live as independently as possible, supported to the extent that is necessary to meet individual needs

· Make real choices, however those choices are expressed

· Enjoy real friendships and other naturally supportive relationships

· Experience the security of unquestioned inclusion in their community

Our vision is that all persons live in a state of dignity, share in all elements of living in the community and have the opportunity to participate effectively.

CLDN is a not-for-profit corporation that serves the three townships at the north end of Durham Region – Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge. The 2 largest communities are Port Perry and Uxbridge. Both communities have busy shopping and dining businesses that cater to both the local residents and visitors. The three townships share a rich history, active community engagement and access to various outdoor activities.

• Assesses and adapts emerging best practices/sector trends to the best advantage of CLDN
• Anticipates financial needs and proposes actions to secure necessary funding for new and existing services and/or people
• Develops a network of sectoral and community contacts, through membership on various committees and taskforces, enabling CLDN to influence and respond to emerging service models and/or changes in the scope of practice
