We encourage individuals with lived experience to apply. Being able to communicate in Indigenous languages such as the Cree languages, Inuktitut and Ojibway, is an added advantage, but not a requirement.

- Document services delivered in accordance with Homewood Health requirements
- Experience in stress management and addictions with a solid understanding of how systems of oppression, including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, colonialism and others impact on and exacerbate these concerns
- Adhere to professional standards and best practices

**What we're looking for**
- A Master’s degree in Social Work, Counselling or related field, supplemented by specific training in culturally competent care. A Bachelor of Social Work with significant counselling experience will be considered
- A minimum of 2 years of workplace crisis management experience
- Formal training in trauma response, psychological first aid and critical incident response (e.g. CISM; NOVA, Psychological First Aid, or related accredited training)
- A minimum of 1 year experience working with indigenous persons in a counselling setting is preferred
- Lived experience as a member of the Indigenous community is considered a strong asset
- Registration or clinical membership with a relevant professional regulatory body
- Professional liability insurance coverage of $2,000,000 or as otherwise determined by Homewood Health
- Must be flexible, accessible and available to respond after hours periodically during the week and weekends
- The ability to complete assessments, administer clinical skills in crisis management and customer service delivery
- Demonstrated crisis based, clinical judgment and intervention skills to support traumatic events impacting employees and the workplace
- Strong organizational and time management skills
- Ability to use Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook)
- Ability to communicate in English, verbal and written, other Indigenous languages written and spoken are an asset

**Why work with us**
We are driven by our values and are passionate about improving lives. We offer competitive wages and professional development opportunities, along with opportunities to engage with a community of clinicians from a variety of professional backgrounds across Canada who are part of our community of practice.
