Vancouver, Canada First United Full time

**Position: Shelter Resource Worker, 37.5 hours per week, Overnights, Saturday to Wednesdays, Temporary**

**OUR VISION**

A neighborhood where every person’s worth is celebrated and all people thrive.

**Our Mission**

We seek a just society, nurturing spirits through ministry, housing, advocacy and community services.

**Our Core Values**

**Acceptance - **we practice a presence of acceptance - caring for people no matter who they are, no matter where they are on life’s journey, no matter their race, gender identity/expression, or who they love. We meet people where they are and offer help when asked.

**Discernment - **we develop and grow our skill at using critical thinking and judgement in our interactions with the community we serve. We know that behaviour is in itself communication, and sometimes rules cannot be one-size-fits-all. And that the world does need rules. We use the same skills to plan how the organization should respond to the neighbourhood we serve.

**Empathy - **we practice empathy - truly seeing and hearing the experience of those around us. Empathy communicates to those we serve: “You are not alone.”

**Accountability - **we show up and we go the extra mile. We deal with our own issues and we take ownership and responsibility for our work and its impact.

**Social Justice - **we aspire to a sustainable and equitable society.
