URGENT HIRING: POST-MAJORITY SUPPORT WORKER

Nitanis Group Ltd. | Edmonton, Alberta | In person

Help young adults take their next steps towards independence. Nitanis is seeking dependable, compassionate support workers for its post-majority home, with an immediate hiring timeline. We are an Indigenous-led organization committed to culturally grounded, trauma-informed support, dignity and respectful relationships.

BOTH COMPLETED CHECKS ARE REQUIRED TO APPLY

You must already hold

- A Child Intervention Record Check dated within the past six months.
- A Police Information/Criminal Record Check that includes a Vulnerable Sector Check, dated within the past six months.

Both documents must remain within six months of issue at your proposed start date and be available for confidential verification. A receipt, pending application or police check without the vulnerable-sector component does not meet this immediate-start requirement.

- Offer steady mentorship while respecting each person's choices, privacy, culture and growing independence.
- Respond calmly to distress using approved de-escalation practices and maintain clear professional boundaries.
- Complete accurate shift notes, incident reports and handovers, and communicate concerns promptly through the appropriate supervisor.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues and support cultural connection in accordance with each participant's wishes.

WHAT YOU BRING
- Relevant education in Child and Youth Care, Social Work, Community Support or a related field, or at least two years of relevant support-work experience.
