Assist parents in fostering secure attachments and recognizing developmental cues to optimize their child's growth.
Participate in the use of screening tools (e.g., ASQ) to guide decision-making and interventions.
Assist with the completion of Functional Assessments to determine disability service eligibility for families in need.
Collaborate with families, FCC providers (e.g., PT, OT, SLP), and community partners, including schools, to deliver goal-focused interventions and support developmental goals.
Support Child and Youth Care Workers in developing intervention plans for clients needing higher levels of consultation and collaboration.
Provide education, consultation, and advocacy to promote inclusivity and support diverse groups from a developmental perspective.

Must undergo a screening process, including a criminal record

Wage / Benefit:

$42.05 - 43.55 per hour, based on relevant experience and education.

Upon successful completion of a trial period, this position is eligible for a full benefit package (including dental plan, vision coverage, life insurance, extended medical coverage, long-term disability plan, and RRSP or TFSA contributions); as well as accrued vacation and sick time at 5.8% - above BC Employment Standards
