  • Background in community outreach.
  • Medication administration experience is preferred.
Skills and Capabilities:
  • Strong counselling and de-escalation skills are essential.
  • Proficient computer skills in Microsoft Office and email are required.
  • Ability to successfully undergo applicable screening and background checks that meet The Salvation Army's standards (i.e., The Salvation Army Abuse Registry) and provide an original copy of a Background Check with vulnerable sector screening, completed no less than 2 months prior to hire.
  • Willingness to develop an understanding and support for the mission and purpose of The Salvation Army in Canada and its implications related to position responsibilities.
