Reporting to the Program Managers of Young Moms Program and Pandora Youth Apartments, the Residential Support Counsellors (RSC On‑call) assist residents by providing after‑hours response services evenings, weekends and holidays – on alternating weeks.

The Young Moms Program offers safe, stable, affordable housing for 10 young mothers (aged 16‑29) and their child under the age of five years. The Pandora Youth Apartments Programme is a safe and affordable transitional housing and life‑skills programme for 8 youth ages 15‑19. Both locations offer participants self‑contained apartments.

The RSC (On‑call) works as part of a small team within a large organisation. This offers opportunities for skill development, fast and effective professional feedback and debriefing. The work schedule involves being on‑call and available to respond to evening and overnight calls Monday‑Friday and 24 hours / day on weekends and statutory holidays (shifts are adjusted on statutory holidays). The RSC On‑call works for one week, then has the following week off of work.
