**Reports to**:Project Manager, TCCS

**Salary**: $63,609 per annum, with comprehensive benefits package

**Background**: Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS) is a community safety and crisis support service program operated by service partners across Toronto. Gerstein Crisis Centre is the anchor for the downtown project. In July 2024, services will expand to include geographies east, west, and south of the downtown core.

Gerstein Crisis Centre (GCC) believes strongly that a model in which the earliest intervention for mental health needs is provided by a mental health worker, rather than the police service, can provide opportunities to access the services people want and need to leverage help sooner, while reducing stigma, discrimination, and unnecessary police involvement. Our experience over the past three decades has demonstrated that this early intervention can put needed supports in place and often avoid unnecessary interactions with emergency services such as hospitals and police. Gerstein Crisis Centre involvement in TCCS builds on our many years of experience and our commitment to continue to collaborate, partner, and ally with others across the city to create a strengths-based, integrated, accessible, community based, anti-racist and socially just crisis response system.
