7 days ago
Why Fraser Health?:
If you are someone who empowers individuals to engage and connect within their communities, we want you to consider our challenging opportunity that is equally as rewarding.
We are currently looking for a
Casual Outreach Support Worker to join our dynamic Integrated Homelessness Action Response Team (IHART) and provide services in the Fraser East region including the areas of
Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission and Hope. We hire great people for outstanding jobs and need your help to expand the ability to deliver prompt and professional service.
IHART (Integrated Homelessness Action Response Teams) provide integrated, coordinated health services to members of our population who have inadequate or unstable housing. Utilizing a hands-on and direct approach of meeting individuals where they are currently situated means that IHART connects with individuals who are unsheltered, in shelters, in homeless encampments, and/or supportive housing environments. IHART is comprised of multidisciplinary teams capable of responding to health, mental health, and substance use issues including health promotion and prevention. Teams will also support continuity of care by providing cohesive linkages to primary care, and Specialized Community Services Programs (SCSP) such as Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Teams and specialized care services focused on seniors. IHART addresses a broad spectrum of health care concerns, including new and chronic conditions, by enabling supportive wrap-around care for those greatest in need and who have, historically, had the least access to services due to inadequate or unstable housing.
. Thank you in advance for your interest in joining the amazing team within the TDRPP portfolio_
