Calgary, Canada The Calgary John Howard Society Full time

**Outreach Literacy Facilitator**

**The Agency**

The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) is a charity that reduces crime and makes Calgary communities safer by helping youth and adults make positive changes and move away from criminal behavior. We do this by addressing the root causes of crime through housing, education, employment programs and support so that individuals have alternatives to breaking the law. CJHS is committed to restorative justice and an organizational environment that recognizes the dignity and worth of each person. CJHS values diversity and inclusion and welcomes qualified applicants from all walks of life.

**The Program**

The Literacy and Learning Program is delivered at various sites for adult foundational learners who wish to improve their literacy skills in the areas of reading, writing, basic computers, skills for learning and/or to accomplish specific learning goals. Targeted learners are adult men and women who face social and economic barriers and who have been involved, or are at risk of involvement, in the criminal justice system. The program’s purpose is to increase literacy skills and prepare individuals for further learning opportunities by increasing their confidence and motivation to learn.

**The Position**

In this Part-Time (32 hours/week) position, the Outreach Literacy Facilitator provides 1:1 tutoring for adult men incarcerated at the Calgary Remand Centre. Individual tutoring and group instruction will also be provided for adult women in custody at the Women’s Annex located in the Calgary Young Offender Centre. Instruction is provided to adult foundational learners, those who have been assessed at a level of education of grade nine or less. The Facilitator will work in an integrated and collaborative way with the Literacy and Adult Community Services Teams at the agency, and with correctional staff in the institutions to ensure incarcerated individuals have ongoing access to literacy services. Developing and maintaining positive professional relationships with correctional staff is essential. Activities will include assessing individual needs and literacy levels, preparing learning plans for face-to-face and group instruction, and supporting individuals to reach their learning goals. The Facilitator will also increase awareness of opportunities for learners to pursue further learning and education. The position involves all aspects of program service delivery, including data collection, database input, learner evaluation, and collaborating with the Literacy Coordinator for the purpose of outcomes reporting in adherence with agency and funder reporting requirements.

**Qualifications & Expectations**
- Post-Secondary education in Education, Adult Learning or other relevant discipline
- Experience working with foundational learners using a client-directed, trauma-informed approach
- Excellent interpersonal, communication, and organization skills; ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances
- Group facilitation experience and capacity to develop outcome-based learning plans for individuals
- Valid driver’s license and access to reliable transportation required
- Current criminal record check (CPIC) (within the past three months)
- Previous experience working with marginalized populations and within custodial settings will be considered assets, as will Brain Story certification.
