• This is not just a shift on your schedule.
• This is a role where a child’s trust, joy, and sense of safety depend on you showing up, fully present.
• If you’re simply looking to add another job to your roster, this is not the right fit.
• But if you are ready to laugh, play tag, shoot hoops, set healthy boundaries, and be a steady, caring presence through the hard days and the good ones, keep reading.

Our goal is to provide excellence in service for the children we provide care for and build a team with the comfort, knowledge, and skills to truly make a difference.

This work will test your patience, stretch your creativity, and demand your accountability. But it will also give you the chance tomake a lasting impact in the life of a child who needs it most.

When expectations are clear from the start, we can prevent unexpected disruptions, which can be heartbreaking for the children and the team.

• A child smiles because they feel you genuinely care.
• They invite you into their world, whether that’s basketball, video games, or simply a quiet walk.
• You set respectful boundaries: “Internet time is done for today,” and they know you mean it, firm but fair.
• You help them navigate complex emotions with patience, empathy, and consistency.

• Build trust through playful engagement and mentorship.
• Guide youth through crisis in challenging situations by using role modelling, encouragement, and crisis intervention strategies.
• Support them with your presence, engagement, and accountability.
• Create moments of joy, whether that’s organizing a game, cooking together, or teaching life skills.
• Document daily activities and observations with attention and care.
• Collaborate with Program Supervisors to support individualized therapeutic plans.

• Focus is on individualized, trauma-informed care for children and youth with complex behavioural and emotional needs.
• Behavioural challenges may include aggression, withdrawal, or resistance, understanding the “why” behind behaviour is critical.
• You are not just supervising, you ARE building therapeutic relationships, teaching coping strategies, and modelling healthy boundaries.

• Focus is on group routines, playtime, and general supervision.
• Behavioural guidance usually means teaching sharing, turn-taking, and following rules.
• Children typically come from stable homes, with fewer trauma-related behaviours.
• Care is often short-term (a few hours/day), not deeply individualized.

• A deep passion for supporting youth with complex behavioural and emotional needs.
• Patience, compassion, and the ability to stay calm in tough situations.
• A balance of playfulness and structure, you can laugh, run, and play, but also hold firm boundaries.
• Knowledge (or willingness to learn) around trauma-informed care, wholistic well-being, and child development.
• Experience in youth care, working with complex behavioural needs, social work, or related fields is an asset.

Your patience already shines, having taken the time to read and reflect on this opportunity. Give yourself the space to truly consider whether you are ready to open your heart, and to commit to a life-changing role for both you and the youth, if you are, we would love to hear from you.
