Residential Child and Youth Worker

Now Hiring for Weekend Days and Awake Night Shifts ONLY* - Please do not apply if you cannot work weekends.

At RYSE Supportive Services Inc., we are committed to providing care aligned with the Specialized Homes and Support Services (SHSS) model. We create safe, nurturing, and structured environments for at-risk youth in both long-term stabilization homes and emergency placement (EP) settings. Our focus is on relationship-based, trauma-informed care that prioritizes youth voice and choice, cultural safety, and individualized support to help youth stabilize and work toward healthy, connected, and independent futures.

Your Role

As a Residential Child and Youth Worker (Youth Caregiver), you play a central role in the daily care and stabilization of youth. You are more than a support worker—you are a mentor, advocate, and consistent presence who provides safety, structure, and connection. You will work closely within a multidisciplinary team—including Program Managers , Residence Coordinators, clinicians, and cultural/community supports—to implement care plans rooted in the SHSS framework.

This role may be within long-term stabilization homes or emergency placement (EP) programs, requiring flexibility, adaptability, and an ability to support youth in high-intensity, crisis, or transitional situations.

Core Responsibilities Youth-Centered Engagement

Build authentic, trusting relationships that promote safety and emotional regulation.
Engage youth in daily life skills (cooking, cleaning, budgeting, hygiene, scheduling, communication).
Support goal setting and progress tracking across SHSS life domains.
Uphold youth rights in care (privacy, cultural identity, safety, and autonomy).
Foster youth participation in decision-making and home routines.

Program & Home Operations

Maintain a clean, organized, and structured household that supports stabilization.
Prepare meals and manage groceries collaboratively with youth where appropriate.
Provide safe transportation for school, appointments, visits, and community activities.
Supervise and support youth during family access and community transitions as required.

Safety & Crisis Response

Respond calmly and effectively to crises using nonviolent crisis intervention (NVCI) techniques.
Monitor for and address unsafe behaviors, mental health crises, or substance use early.
Administer and document medications per care plans and policy.
Complete critical incident reports promptly and accurately, adhering to policy timelines.
Follow all risk management, supervision, and emergency response protocols.

Collaboration & Documentation

Work in partnership with Program Managers , Residence Coordinators, and clinical consultants to ensure wraparound care.
Document daily logs, progress notes, incidents, and life skills development in line with reporting standards.
Participate in regular team debriefings, staff meetings, and clinical consultations.
Engage in ongoing required training (trauma-informed care, cultural humility, EP procedures, and youth rights).

Cultural & Community Connection

Support youth in exploring their cultural identity and accessing community-based resources.
Promote culturally safe practices, including Truth and Reconciliation principles and inclusion of Indigenous, newcomer, and LGBTQ2S+ youth.
Facilitate and participate in community-based, therapeutic, and cultural activities aligned with youth care plans.

Qualifications & Requirements

Minimum 2 years direct experience supporting at-risk youth (residential care preferred).
Class 5 Driver’s License (Class 4 considered an asset), clean driver’s abstract, and use of personal vehicle.
Valid First Aid/CPR, Naloxone, and Food Safe certifications.
Completion of Privacy (FOIPPA) training.
Certification or experience in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NVCI) or equivalent.
Strong communication, de-escalation, and conflict resolution skills.
Ability to support youth presenting with complex needs (addictions, mental health, aggression).
Understanding of trauma-informed, relationship-based, and SHSS-aligned care.
MCFD background screening clearance at hire and every 3 years.
Police Clearance Letters from Countries outside of Canada required for Ministry Screening Application*
