    Employment Services Transformation Manager - Ontario, Canada - Yonge Street Mission

    Default job background
    Contract Full time
    Description

    Yonge Street Mission (YSM) is a vibrant, non-profit Christian organization leading a collective movement to end chronic poverty in Toronto. Since 1896, we've worked to transform the lives of people experiencing poverty, going beyond immediate needs by offering wrap-around support via holistic programs and services, and a pathway which enables street-involved youth, families in need, adults experiencing poverty and vulnerable communities to move from surviving to thriving.

    To make this happen, we are passionate about investing in the people we work with, and look for a diverse range of staff who are key for us to advance our mission: Christians who have a heart for neighbours in need, a desire to transform the lives of our community members, and who believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect.

    If you are inspired by our vision and feel a true call to contribute to YSM's work, we'd love to hear from you.

    What We Offer:

    As a staff member at YSM, some of the things you can look forward to include a values-based and highly collaborative and engaging work environment with a high value on staff's mental health and well-being; meaningful, innovative and impactful work, with opportunities to make a difference in the lives of children, families, and the community, as well as flexible hybrid work arrangements. Our competitive Total Rewards compensation package also includes Group RRSP matching, annual leave and paid personal days, comprehensive health and dental care coverage, an Employee and Family Assistance Program that includes counselling services by Christian professionals, and numerous other perks.

    The Opportunity:

    We are seeking an Employment Services Transformation Manager to lead programs that support participants along the pathway to meaningful and sustained employment. This role will lead a staff team and support change management initiatives as YSM transitions to the Integrated Employment Services model for Employment Ontario programs. This is a 37.5/hrs per week, full time 1-year contract position.

  • Support change management for Employment Ontario programs as services transition to the new Integrated Employment Services model
