Provide therapeutic, relationship-focused care and mentorship to children and youth with complex behavioural and emotional needs. Responsibilities include managing crises, documenting daily activities, and collaborating on individualized therapeutic plans.
Requires a valid Alberta Class 5 Driver's License, a reliable 4-door vehicle, and clear criminal and intervention record checks. Candidates must hold current First Aid/CPR Level C certification and be physically capable of standing, walking, and lifting up to 10 lbs.
This work will test your patience, stretch your creativity, and demand your accountability. But it will also give you the chance to make a lasting impact in the life of a child who needs it most.
When expectations are clear from the start, we can prevent unexpected disruptions, which can be heartbreaking for the children and the team.
What Success Looks Like A child smiles because they feel you genuinely care. They invite you into their world, whether that’s basketball, video games, or simply a quiet walk. You set respectful boundaries: “Internet time is done for today,” and they know you mean it, firm but fair. You help them navigate complex emotions with patience, empathy, and consistency.
The Child & Youth Care Worker (CYCW) role is significantly different from a daycare or childcare position.While both involve supporting children, the purpose, approach, and level of responsibility in a CYCW role are unique and specialized.
How This Differs From a Daycare Setting A daycare environment typically focuses on group routines, play-based learning, and general supervision. Behaviour management usually involves guiding children through common developmental challenges such as sharing, turn-taking, and following simple rules.
Children in daycare generally come from stable home environments with minimal trauma-related behaviours. Care is short-term and group-based, rather than deeply individualized. The role emphasizes routine and safety, not therapeutic intervention or long-term relationship building.
