With over 35 years of experience providing innovative support services for unhoused and marginalized youth and families, the organization has established itself as a leader in the delivery of essential care and support.

Located in the Richmond Hill Housing Hub, Connections is a one-stop center offering a full range of programs and services designed to help at-risk youth access safe, supportive housing.

The primary responsibilities of this role include:

  • Providing a safe and welcoming environment for youth, ensuring their basic needs are met (food, bedding, and hygiene).
  • Responding to immediate needs, resolving conflicts, and consistently following up with youth regarding their case plan, goals, and activities.
  • Completing basic intake assessments using HIFIS to determine eligibility for emergency housing and assessing any immediate needs.
  • Working with youth to identify their housing needs and assisting them in finding suitable housing options.
  • Making referrals to internal programs and supports, such as Housing Workers, Individual and Family Counsellors, and Employment and Education Services.

To be successful in this role, the ideal candidate will possess:

  • A post-secondary degree or diploma in a child/youth-related field, with a minimum of two years' experience working with at-risk or street-involved youth.
  • Extensive knowledge of harm reduction principles and trauma-informed care.
  • Demonstrated client-focused counseling skills and the ability to model positive behaviors.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to adapt to unique client situations.
  • A broad knowledge of community resources and the ability to advocate strongly for clients and professional referrals.
  • Current First Aid/CPR certification and a valid driver's license with a clean driver's abstract.

As an equal opportunity employer, 360°kids values diversity and promotes inclusion within its workforce. The organization strives to create a workplace that reflects the diversity of York Region and welcomes applicants from equity-deserving groups.

We offer a competitive hourly rate of $19.61, reflecting the cost of living in Richmond Hill, ON, Canada. We invite interested candidates to apply for this rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of youth and families.
