Just don’t
Milieu is a horrible company, I’ve seen the changes in the company. They say they care but they only care about how they look. They don’t care about their employees, they throw anyone under the bus to get to management which makes total sense cause the managers are very unprofessional. They burnout their employees and never listen. They work their employees to exhaustion, and when a mistake is made management blames them. Emotional first aid is some thing that all employees should be getting when it’s been a hectic day, they never do that. Everything about this company is twisted and unprofessional. I would never recommend anyone to work or have any service from this company.
residential program work isn’t for everybody
If you think you can handle working with behavioural and potential aggressive youth, developmental youth who can be aggressive. Overtime is offered a lot can be long hours, but you get used to it. They train you well, but most of the managers are new and also learning Milieu ways. They are still very and helpful and supportive. People from all over come to a Courtenay to train and support. If your not confident and able to work with youth who display aggressive behavioral do not apply.
Points positifs
Great vision statement
Points négatifs
very high risk youth
Very Honest and Supportive
Milieu was able to be flexible with my schedule and provide training to accommodate my busy life. Management very honest about the challenges each group home has. I have been orientated in 3 group homes which are completely different with really challenging clients. Management always at the homes to support and available by call. All managers and co-workers have been honest with the level of support each client has and all high risk behaviors. Every house has a great team can’t wait to do more training and pick up a full position.
Points positifs
Each program has a paid orientations
Points négatifs
Criminal record check takes too long
slower paces, but stressful
the managers try really hard to be welcoming and helpful go above and beyond, sometimes the work itself can be hard and it takes a different type of person to be able to work at these homes.
Never again
Would not recommend working here unless your ok with fearing for life for 19$ an hour. Was constantly put in extremely unsafe situations, the individuals had extremely unpredictable and violent behaviour with no safe place for staff to go when these incidents would occur. Often alone when this would happen to. Managers were very unprofessional and un supportive. Program money wasn’t managed properly either, would never give us money to go participate in community activities would have to call parents and ask them for it.
typical day working as youth support worker
The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to get hands on experience and and learn new skills that could be used in everyday life. Being able to provide support and care for youth at risk and build a trusting relationship.
Happy to see New managers
Glad to see past managers moving on to another agency. They have called me and others to go with them and we refuse to go. They even tried to pressure us when we refuse to sign the papers. Had a really hard time dealing with the unprofessionalism, and unethical approaches past managers had. Immature managers with no education or experience becoming managers. Milieu had no standards when hiring for managers. Waiting to see changes within Milieu now that past managers are gone. I enjoy coming to work every day and happy to see positive changes and happier staff. Will always support all of my co-workers when they call.
Points positifs
Happier Staff
It was a good experince
It was my first job in the field. The clients there are amazing, but due to shortage of staff it was pretty difficult to accomplish most of the client goals.
good place to work
staff was great to work with, everyone supported and looked out for each other. This was a difficult job as you didn't know what to expect on a daily basis and the behaviours could be challenging. Management and staff were supportive.
Good place
God staff and good Individuals

Nice place to work after graduation.

Very supportive and caring agency
I just started and was a part of a few behaviors/incidents my first week. Manager was very supportive and available. They worked side by side with me and was able to support me when dealing with this issues. Manager was able to work with me and explained how to better support people with challenging behaviors. I continue to work with this agency and seen a couple people resign due to clients being difficult with high behaviors. I will continue to work and support these individuals. I am learning a lot and feel very comfortable working within Milieu.
