Overview:
Mdewgaan Lodge (mi-day-gaan / medicine lodge) is dedicated to supporting Indigenous women with young children facing challenges related to addiction and mental health, particularly those impacted by complex trauma and socioeconomic hardships.

- Facilitate appropriate referrals for counselling, group sessions, and educational classes.
- Ensure the maintenance and protection of equipment and supplies.
- Manage petty cash and transportation token distribution.
- Offer individual support through crisis intervention and conflict resolution.
- Conduct life skills activities and events centered on addiction prevention and intervention.
- Provide cultural and traditional support through community circles.
- Prepare written and verbal assessments regarding residents' readiness for participation in programs.
- Address the cultural needs of residents effectively.
- Collaborate with the Mdewgaan Lodge Team to provide information, referrals, and follow-up services.
- Assist in meal planning with residents.
- Represent Native Child and Family Services of Toronto within the community.
- Perform additional duties related to the program's mandate as assigned.
Qualifications and Skills:
- Strong understanding of Indigenous healing practices, including land-based and cultural knowledge.
- Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, or a related field.
- Connection to First Nations, Metis, or Inuit communities is an asset.
- Equivalent experience in social services with Indigenous populations may be considered.
- Minimum of two years of direct experience in social work, preferably in a transitional or group home setting.
- A valid (G) Driver's License is advantageous but not mandatory.
- Current CPR and First-Aid certification or willingness to obtain prior to employment.
- Familiarity with Indigenous cultures, particularly within urban settings.
- Knowledge of resources available for Indigenous individuals facing homelessness, addiction, and mental health issues.
- Comprehensive understanding of the services provided by NCFST.
- Strong oral and written communication skills.
- Excellent time management and organizational abilities, especially under pressure.
- Ability to work collaboratively within a team committed to integrating Indigenous traditions and values.
- Proficient computer skills for required software applications.
- Compliance with NCFST's COVID-19 vaccination policy, absent a valid medical exemption.
Application Requirements:
- Cover letter detailing how you meet the qualifications for the role.
- Current resume with three professional references.
- Proof of COVID-19 vaccination, in accordance with NCFST policy.
- Priority will be given to applicants identifying as First Nations, Inuit, or Metis, or those with close affiliations.
- NCFST is committed to an accessible recruitment process for individuals with disabilities upon request.
We appreciate your interest; however, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
