We are a full service settlement agency with multiple departments that offer a wide range of programs and services. Using a client-centered approach, we offer targeted case management. We do needs assessments, support with official documents and paperwork, information and orientation sessions, crisis counselling, housing assistance, translation, language classes, and help navigating public services and agencies such as healthcare, the CRA, Service Ontario, and many others. In addition we offer programs that help newcomers become socially and economically connected, whether through sports, recreation, cultural activities, or job search and networking support. CCI also offers these services in a youth specific context. Finally, CCI Ottawa operates 4 Transitional Housing Sites. Each site provides shelter, food, and wrap around services to support clients as they move into permanent accommodations.</span></p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">JOB SUMMARY </span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Under the direction of the Program Manager, the Settlement Counsellor will support clients throughout City of Ottawa in meeting their immediate settlement needs by providing information, orientation, and referrals to community resources.</span><br></p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">This position reports to: Program Manager</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Employment status: Full-time, until March 31, 2027</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Hourly rate: $30.69 - $34.55</span><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Deadline date to apply: June 12, 2026 at 5:00 pm</span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Open to: Internal/External candidates</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Location: 219 Argyle Avenue</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><br></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">MAIN DUTIES &amp; RESPONSIBILITIES</span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Under the direction of the Program Manager, the Settlement Counsellor will:</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Provide information, orientation, and referrals to clients through one-on-one and group sessions.</li>\n<li>Coordinate the provision of services through case management, needs assessment, Settlement action plans, and advocacy.</li>\n<li>Connect clients with specific settlement needs to existing resources in the community.</li>\n<li>Interpret and translate for clients to access services and meet immediate settlement needs.</li>\n<li>Prepare clients to actively access networks and navigate Canadian systems.</li>\n<li>Provide reports and document services as requested by the Settlement Manager.</li>\n<li>Develop and facilitate workshops and group sessions.</li>\n<li>Outreach to clients and service providers.</li>\n<li>Participate in meetings and activities that promote understanding of newcomers.</li>\n<li>Maintain accurate service records and program documentation.</li>\n<li>Other duties assigned by manager</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">QUALIFICATIONS</span><br><span>(Education, Knowledge, Experience, Skills)</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Post-secondary education in a Social Services field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.</li>\n<li>Knowledge of services and resources available to assist newcomers to Canada.</li>\n<li>At least two years of experience in a social service setting.
