Position Title: Job Search Assistant (Summer Positions)

Position Status: Summer Employment (8–10 weeks)
Compensation: $18.00/hour
Start Date: 2026-06-29
Location: Halifax and Dartmouth Locations (NS Works)

The YMCA is a place where everyone belongs. We are committed to providing equal opportunity for all, in a welcoming space that is both nurturing and fun – in a community of shared responsibilities, where children and families can thrive.

There are lots of places to work, but few opportunities to do work that really matters, and the Y is one of those rare places. When you join our team, you don’t just get a job – you’ll embark on an exciting path in career development. You will be part of a team that provides children, youth, and adults of all ages a sense of belonging in their community.

The Opportunity

The YMCA provides employment support services to both job seekers and employers. We provide one-to-one and group services including needs assessments, career planning, job search support, and job development services.

Reporting to the Manager, the Job Search Assistant supports youth ages 13–16 in learning about career development through the Head Start program. The Job Search Assistant will also help job seekers who come into the resource centres for services.

Responsibilities

Work closely with Nova Scotia Works staff to learn about the day-to-day operations of NS Works
Work in the resource centre, signing clients in, printing jobs for the job board, and helping clients with faxing, photocopying, scanning, and computer use
Respond to incoming phone calls and online inquiries
Assist clients with updating resumes, online job searching, and job applications
Review Head Start applications for the summer job search program
Select youth participants and ensure their paperwork is completed and up to date
Work with the Head Start Coordinator to ensure all equipment is ready for virtual training
Assist with the facilitation of Head Start materials
Provide supervision and guidance to youth attending the job search camp

Qualifications & Skills

Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector Check (if over 18), with the ability to provide a current and satisfactory Criminal Record Check/Vulnerable Sector Check, Child Abuse Registry Check, and proof of First Aid and CPR training
This is a Canada Summer Jobs-funded position. Youth between the ages of 15–30 are eligible to apply.
