Vaughan ON, Canada Vaughan Community Health Centre Full time €50,670 - €59,612

Community Health Worker - PACT (Vaughan Site)
Permanent, Full-time (35 hours per week)
$00 + Health Benefits + HOOPP
The Vaughan Community Health Centre is a not-for-profit, community-governed organization providing primary health care, social services, and illness prevention programs primarily to the residents of the Western and Northern York Region. We serve those people experiencing barriers to accessing health care services due to culture, language, age, chronic illness, or the like. As part of the health promotion framework of our services, we work in partnership with other community-based health and social service organizations to address individual, family and community needs.
The VCHC has expanded its primary health care services. Specifically, the VCHC has implemented a direct referral system to improve access to inter-professional care by allowing non-team-based family physicians to connect vulnerable (medically and socially complex) patients to services available at the VCHC.
As a member of an interdisciplinary team, the Community Health Worker works to identify, design, implement, evaluate, and promote social programs that focus on addressing community health needs, primarily focusing on the local Black, Indigenous, racialized, and other disadvantaged communities. This position works with community groups and individuals and is expected to be available at hours found suitable for community members and volunteers. This can mean meetings in the early morning, evening and on the weekend.
Identify, develop, and facilitate in-person and virtual programs needed to support the health and well-being of Vaughan Community Health Centre (VCHC) clients and community residents in Western York Region (WYR) and Northern York Region (NYR).
Conduct evaluations of the effectiveness of health education/promotion programs and incorporate stakeholders’ feedback to make program improvements where appropriate and feasible.
Develop and maintain informal and formal networks (e.g., community agencies and groups, schools, etc.), and act as a resource to community groups and VCHC staff by establishing links within and between these organizations.
Act as an advocate for community residents by providing assistance in accessing health, social service and related agencies and groups.
Encourage community development by assisting clients to advocate for improved health services and community resources that support good health.
Encounter group program information into VCHC’s Electronic Medical Record.
Work with the other members of the Health Promotion Team, colleagues, and community partners as necessary to ensure that targets for the PACT Community Health Worker are met.
Baccalaureate degree in a health or social science discipline from a recognized university or a combination of some postsecondary education and significant experience in health promotion and/or community development.
Thorough knowledge of and proficiency in community development activities, organization, and outreach.
Experience in health promotion and/or community development activities with and for the Black, Indigenous, and/or racialized communities.
Thorough knowledge and understanding of community resources in Western York Region and Northern York Region.
Demonstrated ability to be flexible and possess excellent organizational and problem-solving skills.
Cross-cultural experience and/or a second language considered an asset.
Successful candidates must undergo a Vulnerable Sector Screening reference check to the satisfaction of the Vaughan Community Health Centre. Proof of full Covid-19 vaccination (1st and 2nd dose and booster) is required.
