  • Maintain accurate records, statistics, and logs of incidents in a professional manner.
Qualifications:
  • A minimum of six months of post-secondary education focusing on homelessness, mental health, or social services, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • At least two years removed from experiences of homelessness or related life challenges; lived experience is an asset.
Knowledge and Skills:
  • Understanding of substance use, mental health issues, and the principles of harm reduction.
  • Familiarity with community resources and the systemic impacts of colonization.
  • Ability to manage conflict effectively and apply behavioral management techniques.
Additional Requirements:
