FT Transition Coordinator - Youth in Transition Program

CHIMO: Where What You Do Matters for A Lifetime.

Days, evenings and weekends

Sometimes a young adult just needs someone alongside them for a while. Could that be you?

Chimo's new Youth in Transition (YIT) Program supports young adults aged 18 to 24 as they leave government care. Our Transition Coordinators provide short-term, goal-focused 1:1 support for up to 90 days at a time: coaching someone through a housing application or a budget until they can do it themselves, staying steady through a crisis, building a safety plan, or working through whatever is getting in the way of taking part in our group programming. Our first young adults arrive in early November.

What you'll do

- Build a working relationship quickly with each young adult referred to you

- Help them make real progress on their goals, step by practical step

- Connect them with community supports, and with our group programming where it fits, so the progress lasts

- Support group programming sessions when your caseload allows

What you bring

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

- At least a year supporting youth or young adults with complex needs

- Patience, organization, and the ability to stay calm when things get hard

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

Good to know:   You'll need a clear Intervention Record and Police Information (Vulnerable Sector) checks. We provide the training you'll need before you start working with young adults.

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