This initiative will plan and implement 9 Early Childhood Development Hubs throughout Ontario. St. Martin’s Manor will be one of these 9 hubs.

The Family Navigator will be a key contact for young parents and their children seeking resources to help them live independently in the community or explore kinship or co-parenting options. Young parents and their children will be partnered with the Family Navigator who will engage in a collaborative approach to determine the range of their service needs and readiness to access treatment/care.

You are passionate about working with marginalized, racialized and/or LGTBQ2S youth, and understand infant and early childhood mental health, housing, community support services, youth mental health and addictions services across the region.

You excel at understanding the barriers and challenges faced by youth parents and their families in culturally diverse, newcomer, and/or low-income communities. You shine in the area of youth/family engagement and rapport building skills with an understanding of youth-focused, client-centered care that is offered in a non-judgmental, strength-based, trauma-informed environment. You are able to establish effective working relationships with relevant public, private sector service providers and other community agencies, healthcare services and resources to assist youth parents and their families with accessing housing, healthcare, infant mental health, trauma, attachment, mental health/addictions services and to support successful introductions to services.

You have program planning, coordination and evaluation skills and the ability to set goals and get results within a pre-determined timeline. Your ability to multi-task and work independently and your flexibility in accepting work assignments is complemented by your effectiveness at time management, decision-making and organizational skills. You are a good team member and supportive of interdisciplinary practice with excellent interpersonal and communication skills and an ability to work effectively with colleagues and clients. You have demonstrated knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite.

Must be able to successfully complete a medical and police clearance with the vulnerable sector screen. You must have current Standard First Aid/CPR certification. You are required to travel off-site to community locations using your own vehicle.
