Vancouver, Canada PHS Community Services Society Full time

PHS Community Services Society is looking for casual Mental Health Workers to fill a variety of frontline positions supporting marginalized people at our properties in Victoria.

Mental Health Workers are the backbone of PHS. They are embedded within PHS housing projects and programs to support residents and participants with immediate, practical day-to-day needs. In this position, you are the first to respond to and assess emergencies, particularly overdose response.

PHS is hiring because we opened new residential units in Victoria. Our buildings operate 24/7, and there will be a requirement to work nights and weekends.

We’re looking for people who work hard, think on their feet, and operate seamlessly as part of a team.

**Want to know if it’s for you?**:
There’s a behind-the-scenes view of the job duties (and the interpersonal skills we’re looking for) in this blog post.

And this is what we do:
**Why work here?**:
PHS is recognized as North American leaders in low-barrier housing and harm reduction services. We are innovators, highly regarded across the sector, looking for people to join experienced, supportive multi-disciplinary teams.

PHS hires from within. Mental Health Worker and Home Support Worker roles provide foundational skills for individuals looking to progress within the organization.

It’s a CUPE 5536 union position, overnight and weekend premiums apply, and there’s access to our family assistance program.

Our scheduling is completed monthly, with the opportunity to take additional hours at shorter notice, if it suits you. (You will not be on call.)

**Responsibilities**:
Job duties include (but are not limited to):

- Provide harm reduction, support, and housing services for PHS residents and service users.
- Safety and security measures.
- General cleaning duties for the project or program.
- Crisis intervention/de-escalation.
- Responding to emergency situations, particularly overdose response.

**Education and experience**:

- Current First Aid and CPR certification is required.
- 1 - 2 years’ experience working with marginalized populations an asset.
- Need a non-judgmental, compassionate, harm reduction approach.
- Class 5 Driver’s Licence preferred.

An equal combination of education, training and experience is acceptable.

**Terms of employment**:
This is a unionized position under CUPE 5536.

**Salary**: $31.56 p/hr plus 10 per cent in lieu of benefits. Overnight and weekend premiums.

Hours: Flexible scheduling. Our scheduling is completed monthly, with the opportunity to take additional hours at shorter notice, if it suits you.

Successful applicants will be required to complete a criminal records check.
