Js - u25 - 41 Educational Support Worker - Terry Fox House

Educational Support Worker

Springboard's mission is to build stronger communities by helping youth and adults develop the skills they need to reach their full potential. As a charitable organization, we deliver innovative, professional and diverse programming by establishing partnerships between our clients and their community. Springboard's program areas include community justice, employment, developmental services, youth justice, Weed out The Risk and The Community Learning HUB.

People are at the centre of everything we do. We foster opportunities for skills development, personal growth and social interaction. We also actively promote work/life balance and mental health supports. We foster communication across the agency, from our Town Halls to our quarterly Springboard orientations. We are a learning organization and our people have the opportunity to provide feedback into all areas of the organization.

The opportunity is with Terry Fox House, a 24/7, live-in program which provides services to young men involved in the youth justice system, who are placed in either open custody or detention. As part of their daily programming, youth from Terry Fox House and two other open custody/detention organizations attend classes at the same school.

Reporting to the Supervisor, the Educational Support Worker plays a key role in maintaining safety, structure, and trauma-informed support in the school environment, while also providing program support at Terry Fox House when school is not in session.
