  • Use routines and activities to give children security and enable them to relate to others in socially acceptable ways; help the youth understand the need for routines and procedures.
  • Provide meaningful and responsible role modeling, as well as direct teaching in areas of grooming, hygiene, dress, nutrition, and social manners.
  • Plan and carry out individual and group activities of a recreational nature.
  • Improve the quality of life for the children by attending to their physical environment.
  • Monitor and work directly with the children in all aspects of their life, liaise with parents and community groups.
  • Promote and safeguard children's rights, interests, and treatment by interceding on their behalf.
  • Act as an avenue of recourse or grievance for the youth and represent their interests.
  • Carry out advocacy responsibilities regarding the children, youth, and the Agency.
  • In working with people we serve, parents/guardians, co-workers, other professionals, and the public, demonstrate appropriate conduct in terms of behavior, appearance, and presentation and adhere to Agency expectations regarding confidentiality.
  • Attend to team responsibilities in terms of participation, communication, and demonstrating a positive attitude.
