Housing Based Case Manager

3 days ago

Ottawa, Canada Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health Full time

One (1) full-time position
Contract up to March 31, 2024 with the possibility of extension

**Context**:
Over 1/3 of homeless people in Ottawa are Indigenous. Wabano has been providing homelessness services to our community for over 20 years. But both “houselessness” and “homelessness” have negative connotationsat Wabano, we see our role more as “path finders”. Whether clients need help finding or keeping their home, our team is here to help clients create a safe, cozy place that they can feel pride in calling home.

Wabano is now looking for a Housing Based Case Manager to be part of our “Home Team” working collaboratively within the **Indigenous-specific coordinated access system in Ottawa.** (See Appendix for more information on this system.)

We are looking for an individual that is inspired by the work of grassroots initiatives and is motivated to find innovative ways to foster rapport and use technology to streamline communication.

**The Role**:
As the Housing Based Case Manager, you will help our community members find housing and help connect them with programs and services that will help keep them housed.

To meet these responsibilities, the Housing Based Case Manager will:

- Help find housing for community members and support them to find services to meet their various needs in order to keep them housed, including helping find them financial aid, a stable food source, life skills programing, mental health and addiction supports, health care, furniture, clothing, social supports, cultural programming, employment etc.;
- Help with the housing search, including suggesting different housing options, viewing units, assisting with lease-signing, explaining the lease and rules in simple terms, etc.;
- Meet community members “where they are at” - whether on the street, in the shelter, or at a location where they feel comfortable;
- Create positive partnerships with team members, other Wabano workers, and community partners in order to best support client needs;
- Maintain appropriate and confidential records of all clients in an online client record system;
- Creating a welcoming, judgment-free environment for community members.

**Qualifications**:
**Must Have**:

- Experience: You will meet people at their most vulnerable, so you need to be able to make them feel comfortable and supported. Knowing how to help someone who may be resistant, or generally not in a good place really takes experience. Knowing that Indigenous clients have a very specific history and may have different needs is also important, so you will need to demonstrate that you have experience working with First Nations, Inuit or Métis people.
- Problem solving skills: You will encounter a lot of different problems and scenarios and you will need to be able to be creative and think on your feet. Experience will also help you come up with good solutions that will best meet your clients’ needs.
- Resourcefulness: You will need to know what services are available for our community members to meet their various needs. If you don’t know, you’ll need the initiative and will to find out.
- Computer skills: You will need to use an online client record, so you will need to be willing and able to learn.
- Communication skills: You will need to be able to communicate well with others inside and outside of Wabano (both speaking and in writing).
- Flexibility: Wabano holds community events outside of normal 9:00-5:30 work hours. Being part of our community is important, so you will need the ability to change your hours around from time to time to attend our events, which could be in the evening or on the weekend.
- Ability to work with vulnerable people: You will need to be prepared to show you are able to work with vulnerable people through providing a criminal record check for working with the vulnerable sector.

**Nice To Have**:

- A post-secondary education: this will definitely give you an edge, but the experience and ability to support our community comes first;
- Current CPR-First Aid Level C, ASSIST, Non Violent Crisis Intervention (if you do not have these - we will train you);

**Salary**:
Range $55,000 per year + Benefits

**Why Work for Us**:
You would be a part of a collaborative and supportive work environment. Additionally, you would have access to:

- Collaborative and Supportive Work Environment
- Group Health and Dental Insurance
- Employee Pension Plan (defined benefits) with matching contribution from Wabano
- Employee Assistance Program
- Four (4) weeks paid vacation time
- Access to cultural teachings and knowledge keepers

**Application Details**:
Wabano is committed to providing employment accommodation in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. If contacted for an employment opportunity or interviewing, please advise if you require accommodation.

We thank all those who apply. Only those selected for further consideration will be con
