  • Support program, community, and fundraising events as required

This role includes occasional evening, weekend, and event-based work, including some physical tasks such as lifting, carrying, standing for extended periods, and assisting with event setup and takedown. .

What We’re Looking For

  • Post-secondary education in a related human services, education, or social sciences field (asset)
  • 2–3 years’ experience working with children/youth, families, volunteers, or community programs
  • Strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills
  • Comfort managing a caseload and working across multiple program settings
  • Valid driver’s licence and reliable access to a vehicle

What We Offer

  • A role that balances variety and routine, independence and teamwork
  • Meaningful professional development and growth opportunities
  • Competitive compensation and benefits, including RRSP contribution
  • Paid parking, mileage reimbursement, vacation, statutory and non-statutory holidays
  • Two-week paid office closure over the Christmas season aligned with the school calendar
