Outreach Caseworker, Roofs for Youth

1 month ago

Calgary, Canada The Calgary John Howard Society Full time

**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 behaviour. 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 Roofs for Youth program is a Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF) funded program that operates within the Calgary Homeless Serving System of Care (CHSSC) to provide support for homeless youth or youth at risk of homelessness aged 15 to 24 years old; helping them successfully develop their living skills, transition to adulthood, and meet their self-defined goals for independence. Youth are either justice system involved or at risk of justice system involvement, lack stable housing, and have identified the need for intensive case-management support.

Roofs for Youth casework operates within the CJHS Natural Supports, Harm Reduction, Trauma-Informed, Diversity, and Restorative Practice Frameworks. Youth receive a continuum of services from institutional discharge planning, housing placement, support with justice system navigation, access to employment and employability skill development, educational opportunities, connections to natural supports, basic needs support, life skills development, and intensive community-based case management. Roofs for Youth strives to be extremely collaborative both internally and externally in our relationships with the other agencies within the CHSSC and our youth's professional and natural supports. We value creativity, advocacy, and promoting a positive, supportive agency culture.

Roofs for Youth includes two place-based congregate living homes, Raido House (15 - 18 yrs.) and Windsor Park (18 - 24 yrs.), where clients may be placed if they need more on-site support. Our Outreach Casework Team supports a large number of youth (15 - 24 yrs.) in community, market housing with subsidy and intensive case-management.

**The Position**:
The primary focus and areas of responsibility include:

- Creatively supporting the youth of Scattered Site as they maintain independence by creating opportunities to support individualized goal setting in the following areas: housing stability, recreation and daily living skills, connection to educational and employment opportunities, safer substance use, and navigating the various systems involved with each youth (PACT, Income Support, Probation, Justice System, IRCS, etc.).
- Develop plans that support an increased knowledge of independent living skills through teachable moments and skill building.
- Work collaboratively with the Outreach Casework and Housing teams.
- Navigating routine and crisis situations within a youth's life with a restorative approach.
- Creating opportunities for youth to engage in programming, including but not limited to recreational, educational, and community involvement.
- Completing all documentation including referrals, assessments, crisis plans/risk assessments, case notes, and letters of support.
- Attend to team responsibilities in terms of participation, communication, and demonstrating a positive attitude.

A current criminal record check (CPIC) and Child Intervention Check (where applicable) are required (within the past three months). Brain Story Certification is considered an asset.

The position is a full-time (40 hour per week) position and includes benefits.

We are very interested in a cover letter outlining why this position is interesting to you and supportive of your career goals.
- The Calgary John Howard Society thanks all applicants; however, only those considered for an interview will be contacted._
