Milieu Counselor (On-call/Relief) SAGE

About the Program

Do you enjoy counseling and supporting youth? Do you find it rewarding to help others? Are you looking for an entry level position in social service with ample opportunities and encouragement for growth? Our SAGE Youth Residential program provides long-term stabilization for survivors of commercial sexual exploitation (CSEC). Both during their exploitation and prior to it, many of these youth have experienced multiple environmental, social, and biological traumas. This may include sexual abuse, parental neglect and/or abuse, alcohol/drug dependency or abuse, school failure, and high levels of emotional vulnerability. Our SAGE program serves vulnerable youth in the CSEC population by providing a safe and secure setting in which they can experience Support, Achieve their goals, Grow, and become Empowered.

Job Summary

Definition of the role: This role requires very short notice adjustments to the working week and the primary duty is to cover key workers’ (Milieu Counselors) leave, vacation, and sickness, by taking on their role accountabilities. Good communication is essential to the role and on-call employees must respond to work requests as outlined in this document.

Responsibilities

• As an on-call MC, you must ensure you are available to be contacted.

• On-call MC’s are required to be accessible if it is necessary for you to be called in for a shift. If, during the on-call period, unforeseen circumstances arise whereby you cannot be reached or are no longer able to respond, you must notify your supervisor immediately.

• Trainings are not meant to replace shifts that you decline. However, if we do not have shifts available, trainings may be scheduled for you temporarily.
• Availability: As an On-Call MC you may change your availability by contacting your supervisor. This communication is expected to occur at least two weeks prior to a scheduled shift.
