Description

INTERNAL ONLY

Metis Child, Family & Community Services (MCFCS) Agency is a mandated child and family services agency with the responsibility to administer and provide culturally relevant community-based child protection and support services for Metis and Inuit people in Manitoba. Metis Child, Family and Community Services and our entire Métis CFS System is evolving and shifting our practices to be ready for the exciting changes that will be coming as a result of the new Federal Act. We have launched and expanded on some very important initiatives that include welcoming family to be at the center of our practice where they participate in planning and decision-making as we walk alongside them on their healing journey.

The Metis Community Addiction Response Team Program (Metis CART) is a wraparound program that walks alongside parents who struggle with their relationship with substances and supports the family in ways that will allow their children to live with them safely.

Our Metis Connect Program has seen great success connecting children and youth to their extended families, community and culture as well as making it possible for parents to get the extra family/ community support they need to go home safely with their babies at birth and/or reunify safely with their children again.

We believe in planning around the kitchen table rather than the boardroom table. This has also allowed our agency to expand its own Kinship Care program while meeting with families.

Come join our progressive agency to work alongside families with our All My Relations model of practice.

We offer competitive wages, comprehensive pension and benefits, support continuing education, hybrid work environment to name a few reasons to come join our family.
