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.</p>\n<p>When expectations are clear from the start, we can prevent unexpected disruptions, which can be heartbreaking for the children and the team.</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>A child smiles because they feel you genuinely care.</li>\n<li>They invite you into their world, whether that’s basketball, video games, or simply a quiet walk.</li>\n<li>You set respectful boundaries:<em><span> </span>“Internet time is done for today,” and they know you mean it, firm but fair.</em></li>\n<li>You help them navigate complex emotions with patience, empathy, and consistency.</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>Build trust through playful engagement and mentorship.</li>\n<li>Guide youth through crisis in challenging situations by using role modelling, encouragement, and crisis intervention strategies.</li>\n<li>Support them with your presence, engagement, and accountability.</li>\n<li>Create moments of joy, whether that’s organizing a game, cooking together, or teaching life skills.</li>\n<li>Document daily activities and observations with attention and care.</li>\n<li>Collaborate with Program Supervisors to support individualized therapeutic plans.</li>\n</ul>\n<p> <br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Behaviour Management Comparison</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><br></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Please note:</span><span> </span>The Child and 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><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><br></span></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><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><br></span></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-weight: bold\">What You Bring</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>A deep passion for supporting youth with complex behavioural and emotional needs.</li>\n<li>Patience, compassion, and the ability to stay calm in tough situations.</li>\n<li>A balance of playfulness and structure, you can laugh, run, and play, but also hold firm boundaries.</li>\n<li>Knowledge (or willingness to learn) around trauma-informed care, wholistic well-being, and child development.</li>\n<li>Experience in youth care, working with complex behavioural needs, social work, or related fields is an asset.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>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.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Compliance Regulated Requirements</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Own a reliable 4-door vehicle to transport the individual(s)</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>An active Alberta Class 5 Driver's License</li>\n<li>A clear Alberta 10-year Driver's Abstract (10 years driving experience is not required)</li>\n<li>A current Standard/Intermediate First Aid with CPR Level C (Canadian Provider in person, or blended online/in-person)</li>\n<li>$2 Million Alberta Auto Insurance Liability coverage</li>\n<li>Clear Criminal Record with Vulnerable Sector Check obtained in last 5 months</li>\n<li>Clear Intervention Record Check obtained from Children Services in last 5 months</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Regulated Physical Requirement</span></p>\n<p><em>To perform this role, the employee must be able to:</em></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Walk and stand for extended periods, including long distances.</li>\n<li>Bend, kneel, crouch, and maintain balance to prevent falls.</li>\n<li>Work in varied environments, including outdoor and seasonal conditions.</li>\n<li>Lift, push, or pull up to 10 lbs. occasionally; reach overhead and outward.</li>\n<li>Perform fine motor tasks (typing, grasping, holding) and repetitive movements.</li>\n<li>Communicate verbally and maintain physical stamina for both short and long durations.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">The PERKS!</span><br></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Career growth opportunities in a growing, award-winning organization</li>\n<li>Innovative technology to assist in your daily routine of providing care</li>\n<li>Mobile App. access technology</li>\n<li>Cornell University  Intervention)</li>\n<li>Ongoing training &amp; professional development</li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">We are partnered with ZayZoon, an employee benefit that gives you instant access to your wages ahead of payday.</span><br><br></li>\n</ul>\n<p>We thank all applicants for applying; however, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.<br><br>#hp</p>",
