Employment Opportunity: Youth Housing Coordinator
Location: Dartmouth, NS
Salary Range: $65,000.00 annually
Employment Term: Full time hours Sept/Oct to March 31, 2026, with possibility of renewal (Monday to Friday)
General Description:
The Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre’s newest building is a newly developed housing facility, and we are looking to hire 1 (one) Youth Housing Coordinator. The youth housing facility will offer culturally appropriate programming and residence to urban Indigenous youth who are transitioning from foster care to supportive temporary housing. The purpose of the youth housing facility is to provide clients with a safe and culturally rich living environment. Safety is of the utmost importance in offering supports at this new facility.
The Coordinator is a part of the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre’s housing team and directly manages the Youth Client Relation Liaisons and the Team Lead. The Coordinator is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the program, as well as managing the client support staff.
A part of this position requires the Coordinator to provide support through a trauma informed person-centred, anti-oppressive, decolonized, and Indigenous lens with an emphasis on harm reduction principles.

Safety is of the upmost importance in offering housing support to vulnerable populations and this role will require strict confidentiality and crisis intervention & prevention skills. In this role you must positively embody certain skills (effective communication skills, managing stressful situations, deescalating crisis, and being flexible). This job description will change as the workplace changes.
