I love being creative and showing others a variety of ways to express themselves, which is lots of fun with the members at Sunrise! Working here has taught me that you really can LOVE your job!

I love coming to work each day and spending time with all of our members! It’s important to me that everyone feels welcomed, included, and has a chance to have some fun. My goal is that by the end of the day, we’ve shared plenty of laughs, made some great memories, and had a genuinely good time together.

I am passionate about creating spaces where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves, being accepted for who they are, and feeling truly included. 

I love using creativity as a way to connect with others, build relationships, and make every program a welcoming and meaningful experience. 

Working at Sunrise has truly been a life changing experience and I can’t wait to continue making memories with everyone!

Community Program Supervisor
Jersey Nicolson

I started at Sunrise as a placement student and never left! What began as a placement quickly became a career I truly love. As the Community Supervisor, I’m passionate about supporting my team, connecting with our members, and creating a community where everyone feels valued. I’m lucky to say that work has always been one of my favourite parts of the day, and never really feels like work.

Whether we're singing, dancing, or just sharing laughs, I love helping make each day exciting.

I am so honoured to be part of the Sunrise team. I get to work in an environment where self-expression, inclusion, and friendship are celebrated. The individuals we support are valued for who they are, and every voice is heard. Sunrise is more than a program, it is a place where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and at home.
