Your Opportunity:

Reporting to the Manager of the Emerging Adult Treatment Clinic, this mobile, advanced Family Counsellor position supports the development and implementation of an evidence-based Emerging Adult model of care at several sites across the Calgary corridor. This position will also work in coordination with a Project Manager, Research team, Emerging Adults, and community-based partners to engage Emerging Adults, parents, interest holders and service providers in co-design sessions for the design and implementation of a new clinical service that will expand the current model of care. The position is mobile and flexible to meet the needs of multiple clinical areas and the scope of the project. Some evening and weekend work is expected within the context of a rotation.
