Vancouver, Canada YWCA Metro Vancouver Full time

Sheway is a community outreach program for childbearing women and their children who live in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. It provides flexible, non-judgmental, and nurturing services and uses a women-centered, harm reduction approach to support women’s self-determination, choices and empowerment. Sheway also offers respect and understanding of First Nations culture, history, and tradition.

Program activities include nutritional support; drop in activities; transportation; the provision of personal hygiene products, clothes, cribs, toys and car seats; outreach services; recreational and creative programming; and professional support (e.g., postnatal medical and nursing care, assistance in accessing social and financial supports, nutrition counselling and support, alcohol and drug counselling, harm reduction services, support in developing parenting skills, advocacy on housing and legal issues and referrals to community supports and transportation to other services)

Assisting in organizing and co-facilitating parent education and group experiences for parents and infants at Sheway. 

Collaborating as part of an interdisciplinary team, participating in team meetings, and handling coverage and reception duties.
