Using best practices and trauma informed approaches, the Life Safety and Navigation Coordinator will build relationships with program participants to provide support, referrals, information, advocacy, and enhanced wellness options.

- Facilitate community partnerships with the aim of aligning coordinated client-centered community standards and support systems for our shared caseloads
- Foster and build relationships with the community and businesses at a neighbourhood level and among service providers in the broader community to support a collaborative approach to change
- Utilize established agency relationships to connect with participants and provide a high level of service as a key member of multiple formal and informal teams across the community
- Provide support to all City of Leduc residents by providing office day coverage for the FCSS team.
