  • Facilitate comprehensive discharge planning for designated clients with the team, client, family, and community agencies to ensure psycho-social follow-up.
  • Establish and maintain effective collaborative and constructive liaison relationships with a variety of individuals and groups, including clients and families, community providers, MCFD social workers, schools, hospitals, and other agencies, in order to coordinate services across the continuum of healthcare.
  • Carry out community outreach services, peer involvement, and community partner resource engagement by methods such as liaising about client resources and access to these resources, engaging with community partners, and working collaboratively to coordinate resources and act as an advocate for the program and clients.
Requirements
  • Master's Degree in Social Work from an accredited School of Social Work, including relevant graduate-level mental health courses and mental health practicum.
  • Minimum 1 year recent related clinical experience working within a correctional health or other related setting, including experience in child protection, child development, and grief and loss, women's issues, women abuse, and harm reduction model, or an equivalent combination of education, training, or experience.
  • Current full registration with the British Columbia College of Social Workers.
  • Valid BC Driver's License. Local area travel may require the use of a personal vehicle.
What We Offer
  • Join one of BC's largest employers with province-wide programs, services, and operations, offering vast opportunities for growth, development, and recognition programs that honor the commitment and contribution of all employees.
  • Access to professional development opportunities through our in-house training programs, including +2,000 courses, such as our San'yas Indigenous Cultural Safety Training course, or Core Linx for Leadership roles.
  • Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including municipal pension plan, and psychological health & safety programs and holistic wellness resources.
  • Annual statutory holidays (13) with generous vacation entitlement and accruement.
  • PHSA is a remote work-friendly employer, welcoming flexible work options to support our people (eligibility may vary, depending on position).
  • Access to WorkPerks, a premium discount program offering a wide range of local and national discounts on electronics, entertainment, dining, travel, wellness, apparel, and more.

PHSA and BCMHSUS is committed to equity in our hiring and employment practices. With learning and compassion, we are addressing existing inequities and barriers throughout our systems. PHSA is seeking to create a diverse workforce and to establish an inclusive and culturally safe environment. We invite applications and enquiries from all people, particularly those belonging to the historically, systemically, and/or persistently marginalized groups identified under the Human Rights Code.

One of PHSA's North Star priorities is to eradicate Indigenous-specific racism, which includes dismantling barriers to healthcare employment at every level. We welcome Indigenous individuals to apply and/or contact the Sanya'kula Team (Indigenous Recruitment & Employee Experience) for support at https://www.phsa.ca/careers/indigenous-recruitment.

Indigenous-specific anti-racism initiatives are rooted in addressing the unique forms of discrimination, historical and ongoing injustices, and marginalization faced by Indigenous peoples. These initiatives align with an Indigenous rights-based approach, recognizing the inherent rights and self-determination of Indigenous communities. PHSA must uphold legislative obligations and provincial commitments found in the foundational documents such as including Truth & Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action (2015), In Plain Sight (2020), BC's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2019), United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Reclaiming Power and Place Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls Calls for Justice (2019), the Declaration Act Action Plan and Remembering Keegan: A First Nations Case Study.
