**Department**:Community Services

**Location**:TRURO

**Type of Employment**:Relief

**Union Status**: Exclusion - Non Union - NSPG

**Closing Date**:1/6/2023 (Applications are accepted until 11:59 PM Atlantic Time)

**About Us**:
At the Department of Community Services (DCS), we are a large and diverse department providing a broad portfolio of programs and services including Child Youth and Family Support (CYFS), Employment Support (ESS), Income Assistance (IA), Homelessness and Supportive Housing, and Disability Support (DSP).

Through our services, we advocate and help vulnerable Nova Scotians be independent, self-reliant, and secure. We work collaboratively across the province with a strong dedicated network of supports and staff, to achieve desired and shared outcomes for all.

**About Our Opportunity**:
Wood Street Campus is a cornerstone in providing specialized treatment services for children in the care of the Minister of Community Services. We operate 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and are passionate about supporting our youth and enhancing their development into successful young people in the community. The experience of fostering positive outcomes for children is very rewarding and requires a highly motivated and energetic individual

We’re hiring compassionate, creative Youth Workers to join our team. You’ll work in an engaged and rewarding environment where you have a direct, positive, and long-lasting impact on the lives of many children. When you join our team, you’ll become a member of an Interdisciplinary Team where we all work together to provide diagnostic, assessment, and treatment services, and programming for children in care.

As a Youth Worker, you are a critical member of the team and are responsible for the day-to-day direct delivery of treatment, programming, and case management and stabilization services.

**This posting will establish a Relief Roster for Wood Street. This Roster will be used to fill multiple relief opportunities over the next several months. Relief opportunities are perfect if you are seeking flexibility in your work, or if you are furthering your education. Our department offers flexible working options, which can be explored further during your interview.**

**Primary Accountabilities**:
You professionally and therapeutically respond to children who may act out in a physically or verbally abusive manner towards peers and staff. You will support children by through the development and implementation of:

- life skills and psychoeducational youth programming that meet individual needs
- counselling and assisting in the classroom
- individualized treatment plans
- recreation and leisure opportunities

You will provide appropriate interventions in response to crisis situations as well as support and accompany children and youth into the community. You will also support and coordinate orientation programs for children, families, and guardians.

**Qualifications and Experience**:
You have completed a bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences (such as Social Worker, Psychology, Counselling, Sociology etc.). **Notice to Pending Graduates: If you anticipate graduation from your program within the next few months of this posting, you are encouraged to apply.**

You demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of short-term crisis stabilization programs and effective youth care intervention. You demonstrate knowledge of human behaviour, stages of development of youth and children, the dynamics of group care, along with trauma informed care. You are inclusive, and demonstrate an appreciation and understanding of the varied lived experiences of Nova Scotia’s diverse demographics.

Key qualities of yours include:

- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
- Ability to prevent and resolve conflicts effectively using good counselling
- Excellent Report writing and effective communication
- Quick decision-making skills in high-stress situations
- Discretion with confidential matters
- Knowledge of various software packages, such as Microsoft Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint).

Though not necessary, any experience with case management systems would be considered an asset. Previous experience with child welfare, early childhood development, crisis services, shelters, and supporting persons with disabilities and substance dependency are considered assets.

We will assess the above qualifications and competencies using one or more of the following tools: written examination, standardized tests, oral presentations, interview(s), and reference checks.

**Equivalency**:
This is an excellent career opportunity for many, and we do consider an equivalent combination of training, education, and experience. Related equivalencies may include, but are not limited to:

- 4 years of related work experience without a bachelor's degree
- 2-year diploma in a related field combined with 2 years of related work experience
