But it will also give you the chance to <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">make a lasting impact</span><span> </span>in the life of a child who needs it most.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">When expectations are clear from the start, we can prevent unexpected disruptions, which can be heartbreaking for the children and the team.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What Success Looks Like</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A child smiles because they feel you genuinely care.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">They invite you into their world, whether that’s basketball, video games, or simply a quiet walk.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">You set respectful boundaries:<em><span> </span>“Internet time is done for today,” and they know you mean it, firm but fair.</em></span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">You help them navigate complex emotions with patience, empathy, and consistency.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">A Day in the Life</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Build trust through playful engagement and mentorship.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Guide youth through crisis in challenging situations by using role modelling, encouragement, and crisis intervention strategies.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Support them with your presence, engagement, and accountability.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Create moments of joy, whether that’s organizing a game, cooking together, or teaching life skills.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Document daily activities and observations with attention and care.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Collaborate with Program Supervisors to support individualized therapeutic plans.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> </span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Behaviour Management Comparison</span></span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Please note:</span><span> </span>The Child &amp; Youth Care Worker (CYCW) role is significantly different from a daycare or childcare position.While both involve supporting children, the purpose, approach, and level of responsibility in a CYCW role are unique and specialized.</span></p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">What Behaviour Management Looks Like in a CYCW Role</span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">In this role, you will be working with children and youth who often have complex behavioural, emotional, and trauma-related needs. Behaviour management is not about basic supervision, it is about understanding the underlying causes of behaviour and responding in a therapeutic, relationship-focused way.</span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Key aspects include:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Providing individualized, trauma-informed care tailored to each child's history and needs.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Supporting children and youth who may display behaviours such as aggression, resistance, withdrawal, or emotional dysregulation.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Actively building<br>trusted, meaningful relationships that help promote healing and stability.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Teaching coping skills, modelling healthy boundaries, and providing consistent emotional support.</span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">This work is<br>intensive, relational, and specialized, requiring empathy, patience, and the ability to understand behaviour as communication.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">How This Differs From a Daycare Setting</span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A daycare environment typically focuses on group routines, play-based learning, and general supervision.<br>Behaviour management usually involves guiding children through common developmental challenges such as sharing, turn-taking, and following simple rules.</span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Additionally:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Children in daycare generally come from stable home environments with minimal trauma-related behaviours.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Care is short-term and group-based, rather than deeply individualized.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The role emphasizes routine and safety, not therapeutic intervention or long-term relationship building.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What You Bring</span><br></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A deep passion for supporting youth with complex behavioural and emotional needs.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Patience, compassion, and the ability to stay calm in tough situations.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A balance of playfulness and structure, you can laugh, run, and play, but also hold firm boundaries.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Knowledge (or willingness to learn) around trauma-informed care, wholistic well-being, and child development.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Experience in youth care, working with complex behavioural needs, social work, or related fields is an asset.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Your patience already shines, having taken the time to read and reflect on this opportunity. Give yourself the space to truly consider whether you are ready to open your heart, and to commit to a life-changing role for both you and the youth, if you are, we would love to hear from you.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Compliance Regulated Requirements</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Own a reliable 4-door vehicle to transport the individual(s)</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">An active Alberta Class 5 Driver's License</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A clear Alberta 10-year Driver's Abstract (10 years driving experience is not required)</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A current Standard/Intermediate First Aid with CPR Level C (Canadian Provider in person, or blended)</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">$2 Million Alberta Auto Insurance Liability coverage</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Clear Criminal Record with Vulnerable Sector Check obtained in last 5 months</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Clear Intervention Record Check obtained from Children Services in last 5 months</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Regulated Physical Requirement</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><em>To perform this role, the employee must be able to:</em></span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Walk and stand for extended periods, including long distances.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Bend, kneel, crouch, and maintain balance to prevent falls.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Work in varied environments, including outdoor and seasonal conditions.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Lift, push, or pull up to 10 lbs. occasionally; reach overhead and outward.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Perform fine motor tasks (typing, grasping, holding) and repetitive movements.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Communicate verbally and maintain physical stamina for both short and long durations.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">The PERKS!</span><br></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Career growth opportunities in a growing, award-winning organization</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Innovative technology to assist in your daily routine of providing care</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Mobile App. access technology</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Cornell University TCI Training (Therapeutic Crisis Intervention)</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Ongoing training &amp; professional development</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span>We are partnered with ZayZoon, an employee benefit that gives you instant access to your wages ahead of payday.</span></span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><em>A collaborative and diverse organization supporting you through your journey in making an impact in the lives of youth, so you never feel alone!</em></span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">We thank all applicants for applying; however, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.</span><br><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">#hp</span></p>",
