Casual Program Facilitator - Youth in Transition Program

CHIMO: Where What You Do Matters for A Lifetime.

FT and Casual Includes some evenings and some Saturdays

Can you hold a room, make people feel welcome, and help with a housing application at the drop-in help desk, all in the same afternoon?

Leaving care at 18 often means facing rent, jobs, bills and loneliness all at once. Chimo's new Youth in Transition (YIT) Program is a place young adults aged 18 to 24 can come for the skills, information and people that make it easier. We're looking for Program Facilitators to make it a place they want to come back to.

Think of the program as a weekly menu of drop-in sessions: a hands-on housing application walkthrough, an honest conversation about substance use and harm reduction, a workshop on healthy relationships and boundaries, practice job interviews, a tax clinic, a ribbon skirt circle. There's food at every session and a help desk six days a week. We open in December.

What you'll do

Plan and lead group sessions young adults actually want to come to

Welcome people at the door, share food, and check in

Staff the help desk: forms, phone calls, applications, next steps

Become the team's Champion in one area: housing, employment and education, financial literacy, health and wellness, or culture and identity

What you bring

A diploma or degree in Child and Youth Care, Social Work, or a related human services field

At least a year of leading groups, workshops or programs with youth or young adults

Warmth, steadiness, and a sense of humour

Lived experience of care or of the transition to adulthood? That's an asset here.

Good to know: You'll need clear Intervention Record and Police Information (Vulnerable Sector) checks. We provide the training you'll need before you start working with young adults. Driving is an asset, not a requirement.

We believe in supporting the people who make a difference every day. As a member of our team, you'll enjoy:

Membership on a supportive team of skilled and passionate professionals dedicated to helping children, youth, and families reach their greatest potential.

Paid vacation starting at twelve (15) days per year.

Paid sick and wellness leave equivalent to eight (10) days per year.

Comprehensive health benefits following the successful completion of the 3-month probationary period.

Dental coverage after one (1) year of employment.

A Health Spending Account (HSA) to help cover eligible health-related expenses after the probationary period.

Access to our Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP), offering confidential counselling and wellness resources for employees and their immediate families.

Opportunities for ongoing professional development, training, and career growth.

Invitations to agency events, training and development, staff appreciation activities, celebrations.

A collaborative, inclusive, and values-driven workplace where your leadership and contributions make a meaningful impact every day.

Job opening remains until suitable applicant is found.
