Shelter Service Direct Supervisor

2 weeks ago

Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nellies Full time

For 50 years, Nellie's has provided shelter and support for marginalized women and their children in the Greater Toronto Area.

We operate programs and services for women and their children who had or are experiencing violence, poverty, and homelessness.

Nellie's works to lessen homelessness for women and their children, whether the cause is family violence, mental health, or any other reason that results in dealing with the impact of trauma.


Our core operations involve our 38-bed emergency shelter for women and their children who are homeless or escaping violent situations.

In addition to our shelter, Nellie's operates Community Support and Outreach programs that provide aftercare support and follow-up services to women and their children after they leave the shelter, as well as transitional housing support for women and gender-diverse people living in the community who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Nellie's is looking to hire a Shelter Direct Service Supervisor.

The Shelter Direct Service Supervisor will provide daily support in the operation of the Shelter Program, including all areas of programs, administration and client services.

The Shelter Supervisor ensures that staff members have adequate resources and support to deliver client centered services from a feminist, anti-racism/anti-oppression, and trauma informed framework.


Nellie's is committed to developing an agency that reflects the women it serves. This position is open to all women. Woman signifies anyone who self-identifies as female, femme and/or woman. This includes transwomen, cisgender women, and non-binary people identifying as femme or female-presenting. Applications from equity-seeking groups are strongly encouraged.
