Job description

This is a great opportunity to join an organization that is committed to ending homelessness and improving the lives of the most vulnerable in our community.

The Indigenous Community Liaison (ICL) provides culturally appropriate support to Indigenous residents across Cool Aid’s Housing and Shelters portfolio. This role is key in helping Indigenous residents maintain their housing, articulating and managing concerns and needs, and providing case management support. The ICL works closely with Cool Aid clients, support teams as well as community partners, providing support and access to cultural activities and supports through a relational, collaborative approach. The ICL will also work with the Director of Indigenous relations and Program Development to develop and implement a variety of cultural activities.

To succeed in this role, you will have an excellent understanding of the challenges faced by our Indigenous clients, including experience supporting individuals who face multiple barriers such as substance use, mental health concerns, low income, and the negative impacts of colonialism and racism. You must be able to provide teachings, knowledge of Indigenous and urban Indigenous culture, traditions, and history as a way of supporting resident’s connection to their culture and community. Experience helping clients navigate issues of racism that may occur at all levels of engagement; from one’s own colleagues and from outside organizations.
