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.

Wage / Benefit:

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

We embrace diversity and ensure everyone on the team demonstrates cultural safety and sensitivity of all populations we serve. But we believe there’s more to our work culture that promotes high levels of employee satisfaction and retention…

We are inclusive.

We use an anti-oppressive lens to inform our work with folx of all cultures, races, ethnic backgrounds, disabilities, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, socio-economic status, religions, and other oppressions to enhance our approach to equality.

We are ever-evolving.

We recruit and retain highly skilled staff and support their development through training, education, research, best practices, and innovation.

We foster a culture of continuous learning, utilizing a two-eyed seeing approach – incorporating the strengths of western knowledge and Indigenous Knowledge: ways of knowing, doing and being – while engaging meaningfully with the provincial community social services sector, Indigenous communities, and agencies.
