Original job description

Are you passionate about using your lived experience and cultural knowledge to support others?

The Indigenous Peer Support Worker reports to the Supervisor, Housing Program and works collaboratively with the Sanctuary Transitional Housing team to provide strengths-based, trauma-informed, individual, and family support for program tenants living in the Sanctuary Transitional Housing Program, ensuring they have the appropriate level of practical support for daily living.
