3 weeks ago

Mississauga, Canada Peel District School Board Full time

**Job Summary**
The We Welcome the World (WWTW) Centres play a vital role at the Peel District School Board (PDSB) in meeting the settlement needs of our diverse students and their families. As a School Settlement Response Worker, you will contribute significantly to this goal by using your settlement or community work experience to facilitate the smooth integration of students and parents within our school system. Reporting to the MSEP facilitator of the We Welcome the World Centres, you will provide culturally and linguistically specific settlement, referral, crisis intervention and counselling support services - in their first language - to students and parents in our schools. Covering 110+ schools, you will work closely with WWTW and other Board staff, MSEP settlement workers, partnering agencies, and other community service providers, to better identify and meet newcomer needs.

**Key Responsibilities**
This collaborative, multi-faceted role will see you helping students and their parents connect with school and surrounding community services, following up with schools and families, and advocating on behalf of families with school personnel and community resources to ensure services are being rendered efficiently. We will count on you to support school staff in ensuring a smooth integration process for students and families, and increasing newcomer parent engagement, and to communicate students' and parents' questions and concerns to PDSB and other service providers, and represent the Board at meetings with said providers regarding their services to newcomer families.

There is an expectation that applicants will have an understanding of anti-Black racism and other forms of discrimination as we look to lessen the disparities in educational outcomes for marginalized students, particularly those who identify as Indigenous, Black, African and Caribbean.

On the more administrative front, you'll create and maintain client files, gather qualitative and quantitative settlement process information, provide reports, and input data pertaining to one-on-one sessions, parent workshops, information sessions and school activities into the Student Information System (SIS) and other databases.

**Qualifications**
- Degree/diploma in Social Work, Settlement or a related field
- Two (2) to four (4) years' settlement work or community work experience providing services to newcomers and a diverse population
- Knowledge of the social services sector and settlement-related government programs, services, and legislation, including Child and Family Services Act, Safe Schools Act, Ontario Education Act, Ontario Works Act, Employment Standards Act, and Department of Citizenship and Immigration Act
- Experience in a school environment, providing settlement needs and supporting parents, students, and community partners
- Effective counselling, interpersonal, problem-solving and organizational skills
- Effective presentation and communication skills; both verbal and written
- Working knowledge of the education system and community resources and services in Peel and relevant government programs and policies
- Ability to work with a team and with school personnel in meeting the needs of newcomer students and their families
- Must have a valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle
- Demonstrated commitment to working in a diverse school community and/or work environment

**Additional Skills & Assets**
- Experience in a school environment
- Fluency in English and Somali is required for this position. This is a mandatory requirement and fluency in other languages is considered an asset.

We are committed to equitable hiring practices that allow us to hire qualified staff who reflect the full diversity of the Region of Peel. We will provide reasonable accommodation (e.g. an accessible location, rescheduling of interviews that fall on Days of Significance etc.) based on any of the human rights protected grounds, during the hiring process if advised in advance. We are also committed to inclusion, anti-oppression and anti-racist practices while also supporting the continuous growth and development of an equitable and empowered education system at the PDSB.
