Halifax, Canada The John Howard Society of Nova Scotia Full time

**About Us**:The John Howard Society of Nova Scotia (JHSNS) has been actively serving our communities since 1950. Our mission is effective, just and humane responses to the causes and consequences of crime. We work collaboratively with clients, government and community agencies to support individuals and families who have come into conflict with the law or who are at risk of becoming involved with the criminal justice system. Our core activities include direct service provision, community education, research and resource development and advocacy. We seek capable, dedicated people to join our team and engage in this exciting and rewarding work.

The **Housing Caseworker (HC)** reports to the Housing Team Lead or in their absence, the Halifax Regional Director. This position is assigned to our Halifax Housing Team. The HC delivers a wide array of support and services to people identifying as male who are experiencing shelter insecurities into the Tamarack House program, a semi-independent transitional housing program. The HC engages the Tamarack Support Workers to support this work. The HC may also support criminalized men working with our Housing Team residing in more independent living arrangements in HRM. Our primary goal is to promote and support success with (re)integrating to the community, while meeting criminogenic needs as identified by risk/needs assessment. This will be performed through intensive supportive case management and housing support, including support planning and advancement, frequent contact with participants, frequent communication with property owners and collaboration with community partners. The John Howard Society uses an anti-oppressive framework to support the identification, prioritization, and planning of appropriate case management for criminalized, male-identifying individuals.
