We are part of a beautiful community, where your education and skills will be leveraged to provide specialized care that will have long lasting results for young people.
This Roster will be used to fill multiple relief opportunities over the next several months.
Primary Accountabilities
As a Child & Youth Care Practitioner in our Provincial Child and Youth Caring programs, you will provide care and programming for children and youth in the care of the Minister of Community Services or Mi'kmaw Family & Children's Services, with moderate to severe emotional and trauma
- based responses.
You will provide support and engage with children and youth, leading and co-leading pre-approved psycho-educational youth programming (social and emotional learning). A few of your key responsibilities include:
Appropriate role modeling and advocating on behalf of children, youth and families for any necessary supports and services.
Creating opportunities for recreational and leisure activities to provide children and youth the opportunity to enhance relationships and make connections in the community.
Attending and actively participating in community outings, appointments, and meetings.
Being part of a team that provides a caring and safe environment for children and youth who may require assistance with self regulation, conflict resolution and developing skills needed for healthy relationships.
Collaborating with external professionals including social workers, health care professionals, policing services, probation, and public schools when necessary.
You are also responsible for accurate reporting, case management notes, file maintenance, and crisis intervention, as well as assisting in developing programs and activities. This is where your creative side will shine through, as you incorporate your personal talents and love for unique social and emotional experiences.
Qualifications and Experience
Ideally, you have completed a Child & Youth Care Worker diploma from a provincially approved post-secondary institution. Notice to Pending Graduates: If you anticipate graduation from your program within the next few months of this posting, you are encouraged to apply.
Essential to your success in this role is awareness of a trauma informed approach, knowledge of physical, psychological, and emotional needs of youth in care and the family unit. You also demonstrate knowledge of healthy child development, providing opportunity for youth to expand on life skills through support and guidance.
**Key qualities of yours include**:
Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
Effective communication skills (oral & written) and the ability to facilitate groups.
Knowledge of various software packages, such as Microsoft Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint).
Though not necessary, any experience with case management systems would be considered a desirable asset. Previous experience with child welfare, early childhood development, crisis services, shelters, and supporting persons with disabilities and substance dependency are considered assets.
We will assess the above qualifications and competencies using one or more of the following tools: written examination, standardized tests, oral presentations, interview(s), and reference checks.
