The Squamish Nation’s Ayás Mén̓men Child and Family Services Department is seeking a Case Social Worker to provide critical support in a culturally rich and community-focused environment.

• Maintain confidential case records, assessments, and reports in compliance with legal and organizational standards.
• Deliver complex information with empathy and cultural sensitivity, ensuring families understand processes and rights.
• Work within Sḵwx̱wú7mesh teachings to uphold traditional family values and community connections.

What We’re Looking For

• A combination of education and experience in Social Work, Child & Family Services, or a related field.
• Delegated C4 status (or eligibility) under BC’s Child, Family, and Community Service Act.
• Strong interpersonal skills—able to engage with families, community members, and professionals with diplomacy and respect.
• High emotional intelligence, patience, and integrity in high-pressure situations.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize complex cases.
• Cultural awareness and deep respect for Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw values, language, and traditions.
• Resourcefulness—able to connect families with appropriate supports and advocate for their needs.

Why Work With Us

• Impactful Work – Be part of a team dedicated to serving the community through Na estétx̱ w sḵwálwen cht (Trust), Na estitkw sḵwálwen cht (Security), Na esḵw’úḵw’ulh sḵwálwen cht (Purpose) and Na eslhílhkw’is sḵwálwen cht (Belonging)
• Professional Growth – We invest in our people with training, mentorship, and career development
• Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw Values – Be part of an organization that values Úxwumixw (community/peoples), snew̓íyelh (guiding through teachings), wenáxws (respect) and inclusivity.
