You will provide consistent supervision while actively participating alongside children and youth, fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. Your ability to build trusting relationships will help support emotional regulation, personal growth, and life skills development.

You will play an important role in ensuring a safe space by continuously assessing the environment for potential risks and responding appropriately. You will also contribute to maintaining accurate records, supporting program evaluation, and collaborating with families, colleagues, and community resources. Working from a strengths-based approach, you will support youth in setting and achieving their goals while promoting resilience and positive behavioural change.

The ideal candidate has training in Early Childhood Education, Youth Care, or a related field, along with experience working with inner-city children and youth. A strong understanding of the North Central community is an asset. First Aid and CPR certification are required.
