**About OpenLab**

**Position Summary**

We are seeking a dynamic, innovative, and entrepreneurial teammate who has a strong background in grassroots community mobilization, community development, stakeholder management and has experience working in harm reduction and with people who use drugs (PWUD) in Toronto.

As a member of UHN OpenLab, you will be working on the Overdose Response Network project to rollout and evaluate a novel peer-to-peer harm reduction approach across several supportive housing and shelter sites in Toronto. UHN OpenLab has designed and is currently building an app that connects individuals who would otherwise use drugs alone to a network of trusted peers who can come to their aid in case of an opioid overdose. As a Community Manager, you will work with our established community advisory committee, and program staff of partner organizations in various buildings to understand their specific needs, design and execute the rollout plan, and collect feedback to inform future iterations of the approach. As the eyes and ears of the project, you will collaborate with other members of the project team, including designers, developers and researchers, to translate those needs and feedback into executable improvement plans. This level of collaboration will involve performing site visits and collecting feedback and information through formal and informal conversations with PWUD, harm reduction workers, and other community members. A car is not required for this position. You will also work with harm reduction service providers to keep them updated on project progress and ensure that their needs are also considered. As a member of the team, you will take over established relationships with community members and service providers and build new ones.

**Duties**

**1. User Engagement**
- Facilitate meetings with PWUD
- Engage community members where they are at and support them to identify issues

- Build and maintain relationships with harm reduction agencies in Toronto
- Build and maintain relationships with PWUD in the community

3. **Training**
- Develop training program to onboard new participants in the program
- Deliver training to housing/shelter partners and PWUD

4. **Writing and reporting**
- Write up regular progress reports for each of the sites
- Document problems and issues as they arise

5. **Works in compliance with the Occupational Health & Safety Act and its regulations, reporting hazards, deficiencies and contraventions of the Act, in a timely manner. Including proof of COVID vaccination.**

**Qualifications**:

- Bachelors degree from a recognized university in social sciences (applied health science, gerontology, community development, etc.) or equivalent combination of training and experience
- 5 years of related experience required
- Prior experience working in harm reduction, supportive housing, shelters, and/or with PWUD
