We collaborate within a comprehensive care network aimed at preventing youth homelessness by equipping young people with essential resources to stabilize their housing, enhance their well-being, develop life skills, engage with the community, and prevent re-entry into homelessness.

  • Ensuring a safe and supportive Trauma-Informed environment within the Centre.
  • Providing guidance and feedback on staff documentation, monthly reports, and critical incident documentation.
  • Ensuring compliance with the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act regarding client information access and disclosure.
  • Training staff in safety protocols, conducting regular building inspections, and facilitating monthly fire drills in accordance with agency policies.
  • Offering support and consultation to the scheduling and after-hours On-Call team as needed.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will possess:

  • Strong leadership and team management abilities.
  • Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Proven relationship-building capabilities.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Creative problem-solving skills.
  • Flexibility and adaptability in ambiguous situations.
  • Experience in trauma-informed support practices.

You will ensure a safe, clean, and secure environment for youth, equipped with a harm reduction approach and skills in suicide intervention and safety planning. Building community support connections will also be part of your role.

What You Bring

  • A Certificate, Degree, or Diploma in Child & Youth Care or a related Human Services field.
  • A minimum of 5+ years of experience working directly with high-risk and at-risk youth.
  • A minimum of 3-5 years of experience in a leadership role within a high-risk demographic in a shelter environment.
  • 1-2 years of experience in strategic planning.
  • 1-3 years of experience in training, supporting, and coaching staff.
  • Proficiency in MS Office applications (Excel, Outlook, Word) and ETO.
  • Understanding of the values and practices of Aboriginal and diverse cultural groups.
  • CYCAA Child and Youth Care certification is an asset.

Prerequisites

  • Training in first aid and mental health first aid.
  • Non-violent crisis intervention training.
  • Training in suicide intervention and harm reduction.
  • Trauma-Informed Care Training.
  • Person-Centered Planning Training.
  • Clear police clearance and Child and Youth Intervention checks, both obtained recently.
  • Valid class 5 driver's license and driver's abstract.
  • Proof of vehicle insurance (minimum $1 million third-party liability).
