We work to transform lives by providing a continuum of services and programs that drive lasting positive change. We strive to change the underlying issues that are root causes of inequality, violence, poverty, and homelessness. Our four program focus areas include: promoting the health, wellness, and leadership of women and girls; advancing women’s economic and housing security; delivering quality, accessible, early learning, and childcare; and working to end violence against women, girls and gender diverse individuals.

**Why work for the YWCA**
Staff at YWCA Halifax enjoy a supportive and dynamic team environment, a commitment to staff growth, a connection to the national and international YWCA movements, learning from colleagues in a multiservice agency, and a strong shared vision.

**Why YOU should apply**

**Program & Job Description**
YWCA Halifax offers a pre-employment program providing women and gender diverse individuals, 19 years old or older, an opportunity to achieve the skills and experience necessary to successfully re-enter the workforce, reach their employment goals, and achieve financial stability.

This program provides an environment for participants to gain skills and knowledge through pre
- employment workshops concentrated on personal management skills (i.e.: critical thinking, contingency planning, reliability, etc.), career exploration, and employment skills recognition/development. Participants will work towards vocational independence by accessing Coordinator and peer support, engaging in career and personal development activities, such as resume writing, mock interviews, and creating and implementing a group-based “Community Action”, and by gaining experience, references and networks by participating in a volunteer opportunity.

**Role of the Pre-Employment Program Coordinator**
The Pre-Employment Program Coordinator is responsible for the overall coordination and administration of YWCA Halifax’s NEW Step Ahead Pre-Employment Program. This program has undergone significant changes to its existing program structure, frameworks/models, and outcomes expectations in order to respond appropriately to the needs of the population it serves. Coordination and administration of this program includes, but is it not limited to; recruitment and intake of program participants, curriculum planning and facilitation, community partner engagement, supporting and overseeing a “Community Action” activity, coordinating volunteer placements, managing program budgets, completing narrative reports, and risk management of program activities.

**Qualifications and Requirements**
- We are looking for individuals with a background in social work, education, case management, life skills training, employment programs, or equivalent.
- You are someone with understanding of program coordination, planning and evaluation in an outcome-based framework, as well as an understanding of trauma-informed practice.
- You can be self-directed and work independently, but also able to be part of a team.
- You are organized, with administrative and financial management skills
- You are able to communicate effectively, both orally and written, and have experience in report writing.
- Experience with group facilitation, as well as knowledge of labour market trends, job development techniques, and employment support strategies.
- Knowledge of policies and practices, or experience working within the Employment Support and Income Assistance (ESIA) division of the Department of Community Services (DCS) is considered a strong asset.
- A current First Aid and CPR certificate and clear Child Abuse Records, Criminal Records and Vulnerable Sector Checks are all necessary.

YWCA Halifax is committed to diversity, and we welcome all suitably qualified applicants from all backgrounds to apply. YWCA Halifax is governed by, employs, and serves diverse individuals and community members. Self-identification by applicants does not guarantee an interview but we want you to know that we understand that lived experience of racialization, Indigeneity, disAbility, and gender diversity are their own knowledge and expertise. We value this expertise and consider it as we discern who to interview.
