Pioneer Youth Services Review

It is so stupid one of the first foster homes I had with them was abusive as all living hell, I am still pissed and that family still gets the front page of everything on they're site, they emotionally abused physically abused and scarred me for life, I still have emotional issues from there the cut my f***ing connections with my mom and good f****ing news everyone im going back.

never ever use this service. the therapists suck *** and dont even talk to you and are rarely helpful, the staff try to antagonize the kids to get a bad response i swear to god if you send your kid here your setting them up for a one way ticket to hell, the family's are abusive as all f*** and I was in a Respit home where they completely neglected the kid and also physically abused me the first day f***, this place is abslolutely hell no doubt about it f*** this place and I hope my first foster mom dies of a heart attack fat F***ing c***, im still scarred from her.

Zero Stars! Very unprofessional in waaaay too many respects! Please do not pay attention to the 5 star rating, it was very misleading! I was an employee there for 2 months and believed I had found the top of my career as a Child and Youth Worker, specializing in those with Autism/Developmental Delays. Someone filed an allegation against me with is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT FALSE! I was questioned by the police who decided to close the case as there was ZERO evidence that this claim had occurred. Children's Aid also agreed with the police's decision, however I was since terminated because they deemed me UNFIT for their organization based off of a completely bogus and MADE UP, FABRICATED, UNTRUE story about myself with ZERO EVIDENCE and terminated me. I am currently looking to seeking legal action against the employee that filed this allegation against myself. PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED!

I have a good time working here with Barb at pioneer who retires on the 13th of October. These are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Update the food program I did with with barb has has ended taylor who took over for barb was surprised along with me. not surprising since we were down to five group home's when I started at pioneer their were eight then seven. Then six. Then only five were left since some group home were moving home's or didn't have enough people living there. Taylor still works for them but in one of the group home's. Just to clear i wasn't fired or let go the program ended so no more work. But I had a nice time working here with barb and Taylor.

I have worked at PYS for over a decade in many capacities. I have worked in the overnight, relief, front-line, assistant and residential supervisor roles. Residential treatment is one of the most challenging fields of employment that I have ever worked in physically and mentally. However, it is also the most REWARDING.

Pioneer homes are very busy, and no matter what role you take on as an employee the job is demanding. Pioneer deals with challenging clients who can no longer live with biological family or foster families. It takes a team effort to support and manage the youth through their routines/treatment on a daily basis. Keeping youth safe and out of the legal system is a huge part of this job. Collaboration with regional police, psychiatrists, medical doctors/specialists, court agents/probation and family and children's services gives employees exposure to community resources and multidisciplinary approaches for treatment. There's never a dull moment!

Like any job there are pro's and con's to be considered. Each employee is going to have a personal perspective of Pioneer Youth Services because of their own individual experiences within the company. I have seen many people come and go. I also know employees who have been with Pioneer for two decades because they love the job.

Resilience and patience are two of the skills that I am most proud of enhancing through my experiences at Pioneer. If you are looking for employment in the fields of psychology, social work or the legal system I would suggest looking at available job opportunities within this agency.

Best fuel prices in the area. Clean and friendly staff.

0 STAR...I worked at Pioneer Youth for a very short time. When I accepted the job I was very excited as I thought this would be my career job. Staff was friendly towards other staff and proper training was given. However, my shift that I was called in for was terrible. It first started off with an email 5 days prior to the shift to see if I was available. With a quick email back I was clarifying if it was AM or PM and that I would love to work the shift. No response. After 4 days and about 5 emails and 2 phone calls I finally get a response. I show up for my shift and they ended up covering it already and I was no longer needed. However, they told me I could stay. Throughout the night the staff was friendly and helping me out when needed as this was my first shift. But I noticed the staff members were very rude to the children/teenagers with autism and other disabilities. The staff members were pushing the children and making fun of the children trying to get a negative behaviour out of them. I told staff that it was very wrong and unprofessional of them to do such thing to the children, especially when they were not having behaviours and were content. Staff told me if I didn't like it I was more then welcome to leave. I left immediately and resigned the following day.

Fire you for false accusations without proof! Very poor management! Zero stars!
