Original job description

The Program

At Taproot Community Support Services, we’re a 100 percent employee-owned organization through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). Every employee is an owner from their first day, with a voice in shaping Taproot’s future and the opportunity to share in employee ownership dividends.

As a Certified B Corporation, we harness business for good. Since 1983 we’ve grown steadily, now delivering support across Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario through more than 90 contracts.

Our 800-plus employee-owners live by five shared values: we are stronger together, we lead with optimism, we embrace challenges, we respect every voice, and we go above and beyond. Guided by these principles, we deliver more than 125 community-based services each year. We walk alongside about 1,600 children, youth, families, and people with diverse abilities, with revenues exceeding $70 million.

The Position

We are hiring a program manager in Nanaimo, BC. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced and values-driven leader to establish and lead diverse staff team that supports one to two youth in a program, funded by MCFD. As youth transition from our program, new youth move in.

Youth may be non-verbal, have high medical needs and need additional supports. They will have a strong understanding of trauma-informed practice, harm reduction, gender-affirming care, and person-centered approaches, and be committed to creating positive outcomes for youth through collaborative and therapeutic interventions.

Working within MCFD, Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) and Children and Youth with Support Needs (CYSN) frameworks, the Program Manager will be responsible for building a strong team culture, supporting staff development, implementing effective practices, and ensuring the delivery of safe, high-quality services.
