Vancouver, Canada Covenant House Vancouver Full time

**About Covenant House**:
Since 1997, Covenant House Vancouver has been providing love and hope to Vancouver’s homeless and at-risk street youth. We help young people aged 16 to 24 who have fled physical, emotional, and sexual abuse; those who have been forced from their homes; and those who have aged out of foster care. Our purpose is to serve all youth, with absolute respect and unconditional love, to help youth experiencing homelessness, and to protect and safeguard all youth in need.

**The Impact a Team Leader in the Foundations Program can make**:
The VCH Foundations Program is a residential stabilization program where we work with the principles of immediacy, sanctuary, value communication, structure and choice. You will demonstrate absolute respect and unconditional love to youth that will support them to know their worth.

The VCH Foundations Program is a safe and non-judgmental environment where youth are supported to address every aspect of wellbeing - physical, emotional, and spiritual. You will supervise and support a team of youth workers to provide services from an attachment-based, harm reduction, culturally relevant, and trauma-informed model of care. You will have the opportunity to lead a team in building transformative relationships 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.

- Greet and welcome youth accessing CHV services, assess and respond to their immediate needs, and provide them with practical resources including food, clothing, and shelter

- Supervise youth workers on shift utilizing reflective supervision model
- Co-ordinate and support youth workers on shift
- Ensure adherence to and role model Covenant House principles and core values
- Ensure safety and security of clients, staff, and property
- Other duties as required
