This article is useful to read because it can answer questions you may have about becoming an Intervention Worker or being one. I am motivated to write this article, because it can encourage people to become an Intervention Worker.
From my experience, being an Intervention Worker is very fun. You get to work with people who value what you do for them. You get to learn new things every day. You get to help others. And with all of that you get to make your own agenda.
Intervention workers assists with the integration and supervision of the client's that comes in for the night or in a program. We also intervene in emergency situations and/or in crisis situation. We also ensure that the client's needs are fulfilled by giving them access to a shower, a bed, food and drinks, a change of clothes and more. We supervise the client's activities to ensure the safety of every one. We also attend meetings with new clients and our caseload. Finally, we act as a liaison with other health and social services for the client care.
On a typical day, Intervention workers assists with the integration and supervision of the clients that come in for the night or in a program.

Intervention workers work in various places, like homeless' shelters, crisis shelters, addiction rehabilitation center, street worker, and more. What ever field of work you choose, every intervention workers has the same type of jobs to do.
To become an intervention worker you need a College diploma in a relevant field or three (3) years of relevant work experience. For exemple : Youth and Adult Correctional Intervention, Social Work, Social Science.
Intervention workers make about $45,094 annual. It is about $23 the hour.
Sometimes, jobs require some additional training such as a training in first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and a Class 5 drivers licence.
There are many dangers of being an intervention worker, such as mental health issues (anxiety, depression burn-out). There is also a chance of getting hurt by violence in the workplace. It is also easy do get the flu witch can become dangerous. Finally, it is possible to get blood-borne diseases.
I don't think it is possible that intervention workers will be replaced by robots soon, because to be a good intervention worker you need to be able to have empathy in regard of the clients, but robots can't.
You can retire after 50 years of work or at 65 years old.
Finally, I am already working as an intervention worker in a homeless's shelter. I have been working there for almost 2 years now, and I would like to keep doing my job after I finish school this summer.
