Job description

HealthOPM is partnering with a Toronto-based non-profit organization to recruit experienced Child and Youth Care professionals to support adolescents impacted by sexual exploitation, gender-based violence, and complex trauma.

This program provides 24-hour residential care for youth ages 12–17 and operates within a structured, trauma-informed treatment model. Opportunities are available across day, evening, and awake overnight schedules, depending on operational needs and candidate experience.


Role Summary

Practitioners in this program play a critical role in maintaining safety, consistency, and therapeutic structure for youth navigating significant emotional, behavioural, and psychosocial challenges.

While some team members focus on direct care, engagement, and programming, others contribute through awake overnight supervision and program continuity, ensuring a safe and supportive environment at all times.


Location: North York, Toronto

Compensation: $21.15 – $32.47 per hour

Status: Full-Time & Casual Opportunities


Preferred Assets

  • Experience in residential treatment or youth shelter programs
  • Professional or lived experience supporting survivors of sexual exploitation or GBV
  • First Aid and CPR certification
  • Crisis prevention, de-escalation, or intervention training
  • Multilingual abilities

Core Duties

Based on assigned shifts, responsibilities may include:

  • Providing consistent, trauma-informed supervision and care within a residential setting

  • Supporting youth with emotional regulation, routines, and daily living skills

  • Reinforcing individualized treatment goals and evidence-informed interventions

  • Completing shift documentation, safety checks, and program-related records

  • Participating in team communication and care coordination processes

  • Conducting overnight monitoring, wellness checks, and site supervision as required

  • Supporting general household readiness and operational needs of the program

Required Qualifications

  • Diploma or degree in Child & Youth Care (CYW/CYC) or a closely related discipline

  • At least one (1) year of experience supporting youth with complex needs, including exposure to:

    • Sexual exploitation and/or gender-based violence

    • Trauma, homelessness, substance use, or high-risk youth populations

    • Residential care, shelters, group homes, or similar environments

  • Demonstrated understanding of trauma-informed and relational care approaches

  • Strong boundaries, emotional awareness, and professional self-care practices

  • Familiarity with crisis intervention principles

  • Commitment to equity-informed, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist practice


Pre-Employment Requirements

  • Broad Record Police Check (BRC)

    • Police check results are reviewed in relation to role responsibilities; findings do not result in automatic disqualification


Why Join

This role is well-suited to practitioners who are grounded, reflective, and experienced in high-acuity youth work — and who are motivated by contributing to a program that prioritizes safety, dignity, and long-term healing for vulnerable young people.
