Child and Youth Care Practitioner
2 months ago
We are seeking compassionate and creative individuals to join our team as Child and Youth Care Practitioners in our Provincial Child and Youth Caring programs. As a member of our team, you will provide care and programming for children and youth in the care of the Minister of Community Services or Mi'kmaw Family & Children's Services, with moderate to severe emotional and trauma-based responses.
Primary Accountabilities- Provide support and engage with children and youth, leading and co-leading pre-approved psycho-educational youth programming (social and emotional learning).
- Appropriate role modeling and advocating on behalf of children, youth, and families for any necessary supports and services.
- Creating opportunities for recreational and leisure activities to provide children and youth the opportunity to enhance relationships and make connections in the community.
- Attending and actively participating in community outings, appointments, and meetings.
- Being part of a team that provides a caring and safe environment for children and youth who may require assistance with self-regulation, conflict resolution, and developing skills needed for healthy relationships.
- Collaborating with external professionals, including social workers, healthcare professionals, policing services, probation, and public schools when necessary.
Ideally, you have completed a Child & Youth Care Worker diploma from a provincially approved post-secondary institution. Notice to pending graduates: if you anticipate graduation from your program within the next few months of this posting, you are encouraged to apply.
Essential to your success in this role is awareness of a trauma-informed approach, knowledge of physical, psychological, and emotional needs of youth in care and the family unit. You also demonstrate knowledge of healthy child development, providing opportunity for youth to expand on life skills through support and guidance.
Key qualities of yours include:
- Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
- Effective communication skills (oral & written) and the ability to facilitate groups.
- Knowledge of various software packages, such as Microsoft Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint).
As a member of our team, you will have access to a wide range of benefits, including a Defined Benefit Pension Plan, Health, Dental, Life Insurance, General illness, Short and Long Term Disability, Vacation, and Employee and Family Assistance Programs.
Working ConditionsYour personal resilience and ability to act decisively and with sound judgment in routine matters or crisis situations is critical. Child and youth caring environments differ substantially from traditional office settings, where you will facilitate and maintain an awareness to provide safety and security for youth, visitors, employees, and the public.
The facility does operate twenty-four hours of the day and seven days a week, with scheduled rotating employee shifts.
Additional InformationA valid driver's license and access to a reliable vehicle are required.
