Shelter Positions

Discovery House is a non-profit organization that empowers families who have experienced domestic violence with the space, supports, and skills to imagine and create a better life. We provide transitional housing, offering long-term, safe places for families to call home while they begin rebuilding their lives. Our team of professionals provide families with customized supports and counselling to help mitigate the impacts of trauma, and programs to prevent the cycle of abuse from repeating.

Our shelter positions are front-line roles that support the day-to-day operations of our shelter. Depending on the position, responsibilities may include intake, case management support, shelter community building through facilitating groups or activities for clients. These roles work closely with families and individuals as they access safe housing, navigate supports, and begin rebuilding their lives. Staff in these positions collaborate with our internal teams and community partner teams to help meet each family’s practical and emotional needs.
