About the Agency

Jewish Family and Child Service (JF&CS) is a multi-service, client-centered, family service agency and a Children’s Aid Society.

We foster a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming environment and encourage applicants from all backgrounds and identities to apply.

About the Role

JF&CS is seeking a compassionate and skilled Social Worker to support individuals and families within the Jewish community impacted by antisemitism, hate-based incidents, and traumatic invalidation. This role combines clinical counselling, crisis intervention, group facilitation, psychoeducation, and community outreach through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens.

The successful candidate will provide direct clinical services while helping strengthen community resilience and access to supports.

  • Provide trauma-informed assessment, counselling, crisis intervention, safety planning, and case management services.
  • Deliver individual and group-based therapeutic supports for individuals impacted by antisemitism and hate-based trauma.
  • Facilitate psychoeducational and support groups focused on resilience, validation, and healing.
  • Support clients with referrals, advocacy, and connection to community and legal resources.
  • Participate in intake and clinical assessment services.
  • Develop and deliver educational workshops and outreach initiatives related to antisemitism, trauma, and community wellbeing.
  • Collaborate with community organizations, synagogues, and service providers to support coordinated care.
  • Maintain accurate documentation in accordance with agency and professional standards.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

What You Will Bring:

  • Master of Social Work (MSW) or equivalent.
  • Registration in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW).
  • Minimum 2–3 years of clinical experience in trauma-focused therapy, crisis intervention, and safety planning.
  • Formal training in at least one evidence-based trauma modality (TF-CBT, CPT, PE, or EMDR).
  • Strong understanding of antisemitism, hate-based trauma, Jewish identity, and intergenerational trauma.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and group facilitation skills.
  • Commitment to anti-oppressive, equity-informed, and trauma-informed practice.
  • Hebrew, Russian, French, or another community language is considered an asset.
