    Child Development WorkerChild Development Worker - Toronto, ON, Canada - Child Development Institute

    Default job background
    Description

    Children are at the front and centre of what we do; they are the foundation of our purpose and the basis for our evidence-driven strategy.

    Our mission is to transform the lives of children, youth and their families by developing and delivering innovative, research-based mental health and early learning programs.

    At the Child Development Institute (CDI), we are passionate about helping our communities' most vulnerable members and their caregivers.

    Joining us now is a rewarding opportunity to be part of an organization that is built on a legacy of more than 100 years of helping children and families.

    Recognized as a leader and model for measurement-based impact, we are client-centred, family-centred, and data-informed.

    We are a place where professionals grounded in mental health, care, and well-being of infants, children and youth, come together in collaboration, learning and inclusion.

    As a multiservice organization delivering social, emotional, and behavioural counselling services, early childhood education, learning disabilities and mental health services, and family violence services, we address the whole person from when they begin their life.

    Every child and family that reaches out to us is unique, and we value and embrace their individuality. With their trust in us, we guide children and families along a supportive journey. It is an often difficult path and simultaneously the most rewarding experience for providers, children and families.

    As our new School Liaison Worker, you will assume a pivotal role in supporting children experiencing homelessness due to trauma and gender-based violence within a school environment, addressing their psycho-social needs, and collaborating effectively with various stakeholders, including families, teachers, school personnel, and shelter staff.

    Therapeutic interventions may involve working with individuals, groups of children, and families working within a trauma-informed framework doing social and emotional support.

    You should be willing and able to travel to schools, partner shelters, and CDI locations, be available to work every day when school is open and be flexible to work varying hours during the day or evening to accommodate client needs.

    As a Child and Youth Worker, you are looking for a place to channel your commitment to making a difference in the lives of children and their families who have experienced trauma.

    You want to leverage the expertise of a long-historied organization that operates at the cutting edge of evidence-based treatment for children, youth, and their families, a place where you will be supported in professional development and work-life balance.

    You will help facilitate children's integration into a classroom at the school, promote peer group acceptance, and work with family, school administration, teachers, and shelter staff to develop a school safety plan that meets the family's needs.

    Administer psycho-social assessments.

    You will consult with classroom teachers and school officials regarding the psychosocial needs of the children and offer crisis intervention and support.

    You will update information systems with accurate data and maintain agency records as required.

    You have a certificate, diploma, or degree in Child and Youth Work and experience working with children, youth and families in a therapeutic or clinical setting.

    You bring hands-on experience working with children and youth facing mental health challenges.

    Your practice is informed by a deep understanding of anti-oppressive principles, which you skillfully apply in your interactions with children, youth, and families.

    Furthermore, your knowledge extends to the complexities of family violence and its profound impact on children and caregivers alike, including those navigating transitions.

    The utmost respect and love for children and youth. You can build genuine, trusting relationships with children, youth, young adult staff, and client families.

    You excel at coaching or training, providing constructive and positive feedback, supervising large and small groups, and evaluating individual and team performance.

    You have education, training, or experience navigating high-risk, high-emotion situations.

    you want to play a vital role in creating and fostering a positive experience with measurable outcomes that makes a genuine impact on the lives of your clients and the people they interact with.

    As a condition of employment, you are required to provide updated COVID vaccinations in compliance with the CDI Mandatory Vaccination Policy.

    Fostering positive transformations in mental health for over a century, CDI is a world-class leader trusted in helping children, youth and families through a wide range of evidence-informed services to build lasting change.

    Flexible hours in a planned program environment.

    If you want to be part of our vision to make a measurable lifelong impact on the mental health and well-being of children, youth and their families, join us.

    A virtual interview with a Talent Advisor will discuss your interest in the role and background.

    CDI is firmly committed to diversity within its community and welcomes applications from racialized persons/persons of colour, Indigenous People of North America and the world, persons with disabilities, 2SLGBTQIA+ persons, and those who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
