Job Description / Duties
The Opportunity
Are you adaptable, service-oriented, available to cover a variety of shifts (including weekdays and/or overnights), have a valid class 5 driver’s license, and enjoy building positive relationships with marginalized women in the Downtown Eastside? If yes to all, we are seeking several auxiliary, on-call Ministry Support Workers who are responsible for assisting the Sanctuary Stabilization Program teams in the care of women—with or without babies—by ensuring they have a safe and clean place to find both direction and assistance. You may be making referrals for housing, clothing, shelter and recovery, as well as performing a wide variety of other duties, which could include organizing and participating in program activities with residents; driving and accompanying residents to appointments and/or meetings; and providing care for infants when asked.
This is a ministry position and a personal knowledge and experience of the saving work of Jesus Christ is a prerequisite. If you possess strong interpersonal skills, have related work or volunteer experience, and can successfully set healthy boundaries with demanding individuals and those in crisis situations, this might be a great opportunity for you.
You will frequently deal with clients in crisis situations, brought about by diverse problems. There will be other staff nearby to assist as required.
The start wage for this position is $19.50 per hour.
This is an auxiliary, on-call position. For a copy of the full job description, please visit our website.
