**Type of Employment**: Term
**Union Status**:NSGEU - NSPG
**Closing Date**:2/20/2023 (Applications are accepted until 11:59 PM Atlantic Time)
**About Us**
At the Department of Community Services (DCS), we are a large and diverse department providing a broad portfolio of programs and services including Child Youth and Family Support (CYFS), Employment Support (ESS), Income Assistance (IA), Homelessness and Supportive Housing, and Disability Support (DSP).
Through our services, we advocate and help vulnerable Nova Scotians be independent, self-reliant, and secure. We work collaboratively across the province with a strong dedicated network of supports and staff, to achieve desired and shared outcomes for all.
**About Our Opportunity**
We consider this to be the best job in the world, and are seeking compassionate, creative individuals to join our team. Child and youth care is an evolving profession, and when you join our team, you will be embarking on a rewarding career. You will have the opportunity to establish positive connections with youth and families, during challenging times in their lives.
If you have a passion for people and are looking for your next opportunity to showcase your various active, artistical, creative and musical talents, consider a career as a Child & Youth Care Practitioner with Janus/Bridges.
We are part of a beautiful community, where your education and skills will be leveraged to provide specialized care that will have long lasting results for young people.
**Primary Accountabilities**
As a Child & Youth Care Practitioner in our Provincial Child and Youth Caring programs, you will provide care and programming for children and youth in the care of the Minister of Community Services or Mi'kmaw Family & Children's Services, with moderate to severe emotional and trauma
- based responses.
You will provide support and engage with children and youth, leading and co-leading pre-approved psycho-educational youth programming (social and emotional learning). A few of your key responsibilities include:
- Appropriate role modeling and advocating on behalf of children, youth and families for any necessary supports and services.
- Creating opportunities for recreational and leisure activities to provide children and youth the opportunity to enhance relationships and make connections in the community.
- Attending and actively participating in community outings, appointments, and meetings.
- Being part of a team that provides a caring and safe environment for children and youth who may require assistance with self regulation, conflict resolution and developing skills needed for healthy relationships.
- Collaborating with external professionals including social workers, health care professionals, policing services, probation, and public schools when necessary.
You are also responsible for accurate reporting, case management notes, file maintenance, and crisis intervention, as well as assisting in developing programs and activities. This is where your creative side will shine through, as you incorporate your personal talents and love for unique social and emotional experiences.
**Qualifications and Experience**
Ideally, you have completed a Child & Youth Care Worker diploma from a provincially approved post-secondary institution. Completion of an Early Childhood Education (ECE) or Social Services Diploma is also accepted.
Essential to your success in this role is awareness of a trauma informed approach, knowledge of physical, psychological, and emotional needs of youth in care and the family unit. You also demonstrate knowledge of healthy child development, providing opportunity for youth to expand on life skills through support and guidance.
**Key qualities of yours include**:
- Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
- Effective communication skills (oral & written) and the ability to facilitate groups.
- Knowledge of various software packages, such as Microsoft Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint).
Though not necessary, any experience with case management systems would be considered a desirable asset. Previous experience with child welfare, early childhood development, crisis services, shelters, and supporting persons with disabilities and substance dependency are considered assets.
We will assess the above qualifications and competencies using one or more of the following tools: written examination, standardized tests, oral presentations, interview(s), and reference checks.
