**About Covenant House Vancouver**:
Since 1997, Covenant House Vancouver has provided relentless support for youth experiencing, or at-risk of experiencing, homelessness. We provide support to young people age 16 to 24 who have experienced a wide range of early life and ongoing, complex trauma; including physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect. Our purpose is to serve all youth, with absolute respect and unconditional love, to help youth experiencing homelessness, and provide a safe and supportive environment for all youth in need.

**The Impact A Team Leader In The Foundations Program Can Make**:
The VCH Foundations Program is a residential stabilization program where we work with the principles of immediacy, sanctuary, value communication, structure and choice. You will demonstrate absolute respect and unconditional love to youth that will support them to know their worth.

The VCH Foundations Program is a safe and non-judgmental environment where youth are supported to address every aspect of wellbeing - physical, emotional, and spiritual. You will supervise and support a team of youth workers to provide services from an attachment-based, harm reduction, culturally relevant, and trauma-informed model of care. You will have the opportunity to lead a team in building transformative relationships with youth and reduce the risks of street homelessness and substance use. Through relentless engagement, the CHV continuum of care connects with youth where they are at because we feel it should be “one size fits one” when it comes to supporting young people.

- Supervise youth workers on shift utilizing reflective supervision model
- Ensure adherence to and role model Covenant House principles and core values

**Who We Are Looking For?**:
**Education and Experience**:

- Diploma or degree in related social service or relevant experience with harm reduction principles.
- Degree or Diploma in Social Work, Social Services, Child and Youth Care, or a related field. Or, relevant experience working in a similar capacity with a strong knowledge of harm reduction principals.
