Alpha House operates multiple Place-Based Supportive Housing (PBSH) programs across Calgary, focused on providing care to individuals with complex needs and supporting long-term housing stability. These programs are built on our core values—meeting participants where they are at, eliminating barriers to entry, and offering a safe, compassionate space to address addiction and mental health challenges.

As a PBSH Caseworker, you'll work in a team-based, case management model to help clients maintain housing and stability.

  • A minimum two-year diploma in Human Services (or related field) from a public post-secondary institution, or actively enrolled
  • Strong understanding of addiction, harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and the housing-first model
  • Frontline experience supporting vulnerable populations, particularly those facing homelessness, addictions, or mental health challenges
  • High degree of empathy, compassion, and non-judgmental support for clients
  • Crisis management, de-escalation, and conflict resolution skills
  • Excellent communication, time management, and interpersonal skills
  • Technologically proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook
  • Able to maintain confidentiality and adhere to privacy standards
  • A team player with the ability to work independently
  • Flexible, resourceful, and adaptable
  • Familiarity with the Protection of Persons in Care Act

Position Requirements

  • Class 5 (Non GDL) driver license (Not required for overnight)
  • Be able to physically assist clients from prone to sitting or standing, and vice versa
  • Able to provide a Vulnerable Sector Search, valid within the last six months, that does not contain any results material to the position
  • Ability to complete FOIP & "It's your Move" training, or equivalent Patient Lift training

Our team is passionate about making a difference in the lives of those we serve, offering comprehensive support and resources to help individuals on their journey to recovery and stability.
