About Covenant House Vancouver:

Since 1997, Covenant House Vancouver has provided relentless support for youth experiencing, or at-risk of experiencing, homelessness.

We provide support to young people age 16 to 24 who have experienced a wide range of early life and ongoing, complex trauma; including physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect.

Our purpose is to serve all youth, with absolute respect and unconditional love, to help youth experiencing homelessness, and provide a safe and supportive environment for all youth in need.


The Impact a Youth Worker in the Harm Reduction Residential Program can make:
Your primary role as a youth worker is to build trusting, supportive professional relationships with youth.

You will work with a multidisciplinary team to determine the best plan of care to help youth reach their goals and transition to healthy, confident adults.

Working in the Harm Reduction Residential Program you will demonstrate absolute respect and unconditional love to youth that will support them to know their worth.

The Harm Reduction Residential Program is a safe and non-judgmental environment where youth are supported to address every aspect of wellbeing - health, emotional, and spiritual.

You will provide services from an attachment-based, harm reduction, culturally relevant, trauma-informed model of care.

You will have the opportunity to build transformative relationship with youth and reduce the risks of street homelessness and substance use.

Through relentless engagement, the CHV continuum of care connects with youth where they are at because we feel it should be "one size fits one" when it comes to supporting young people.

  • Attend all training as directed
  • Maintain youth rooms including: set up, safety checks, etc.

  • Other duties as required

Who We Are Looking For?:

  • Diploma or degree in related social service or relevant experience with harm reduction principles.
  • Degree or Diploma in Social Work, Social Services, Child and Youth Care, or a related field. Or, relevant experience working in a similar capacity with a strong knowledge of harm reduction principals.
  • 2 years experience in a similar role
  • First Aid & Non-Violent Crisis Intervention will be considered an asset
  • Evidence of compliance with the Province's immunization and tuberculosis control programs is required

Skills & Abilities:

  • Familiarity with issued related to substance use and Harm Reduction principles and practices
  • Familiarity with Indigenous Cultural Safety
  • Ability to maintain professional boundaries with the Youth
  • Basic computer skills

Why Work For Us? Would You Like To:

  • Be part of a team that makes a difference in the lives of youth in need
  • Work with a multidisciplinary team of youth workers, social workers, clinical counsellors, mentorship and life skills coordinators, outreach, and housing workers

  • Have generous Health & Dental Benefits, including a health spending account, substantial counselling benefits, employee assistance program, excellent vacation, personal and sick leave
  • Attend an array of exciting team bonding exercises throughout the year
