Cochrane District, Canada Town of Cochrane Full time $45,000 - $65,000 per year

Cochrane is located in the breathtaking Bow Valley corridor in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in southern Alberta. With a population of over 37,000 people, and growing steadily every year, Cochrane is a thriving town, surrounded by world-famous ranch country. Our western heritage is reflected in the Town's architecture and our friendly people. The Town of Cochrane welcomes innovative and skilled individuals to join our team of over 250 employees.

At the Town of Cochrane, we believe strong families build strong communities. Our Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) team is committed to encouraging, strengthening, and stabilizing family and community life. Within FCSS, the Family Resource Network (FRN) provides a range of services focused on improving child development, building resiliency, increasing social support, and connecting families to the resources they need to thrive.

You'll be the welcoming face and trusted resource who develops and delivers universal, targeted, and intensive programs that promote positive child development, strengthen caregiver capacity, and foster community connection.

This role is deeply collaborative - you'll work closely with internal teams, external partners, and families to identify needs, advocate for services, and build bridges across health, social, and community networks.

What Your Days Could Look Like
