Casual 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.

This role involves driving, so you'll need

• A valid Class 5 driver’s license
• to provide proven experience as a Driver (minimum 3 years driving and insurance history).
• to provide current auto insurance with $2 million liability and business use coverage with no at-fault accident claims in the past 3 years.
• to be eligibility for fleet insurance approval (driver's abstract must not have more than 2 convictions).

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.

• 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.
