  • Demonstrated understanding of the dynamics of attachment of children to their parents, extended family members and to significant others.

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Effective organization and planning skills to prioritize tasks.
  • Demonstrated understanding of the types of permanency on the permanency continuum and the appropriateness for different children and families, and the importance of concurrent planning, through collaborative case planning and placement decisions.
  • Strong observation skills related to parent- child interactions in a family home environment, or during an office or community access visit. Able to assess immediate risk concerns to self and/or child during these interactions, and to respond in an appropriate and safe manner.
  • Demonstrated ability to think critically and evaluate key parenting behaviour using all relevant information, to present a balanced assessment of parenting strengths (safety/protective factors) and challenges (risk/danger factors).
  • Possess knowledge of, and experience in, the provision of parenting intervention strategies via feedback, coaching and collaborative goal setting with family members, consistent with a strengths-based approach.
  • Strong time management skills and ability to work effectively under pressure.
  • Proven ability to work as an integral member of a team.
