Full job description

There is potential inside all of us – we all have it in us to shine. Every charity exists to help solve a problem – our charity exists to help solve many problems, from childcare shortages, social isolation, mental health issues, access to wellness, and more. Today, our network is spread across 100+ program locations in HRM and the province, meeting the most urgent needs of our communities in mental health supports, accessible childcare, supporting an increasing immigrant population, safe spaces for youth to grow and lead, helping to navigate a precarious labour market, delivering wellness programming for all, and creating community for isolated older adults.

We give people the tools, encouragement, and safe space to discover their inner strength. When they know someone’s in their corner, with unconditional support, they realize they can do more than they thought possible. It’s your support, expertise, and guidance that helps people ignite their full potential and shape our neighbourhoods into vibrant and healthy communities.

With us at their side, they can Shine On.

Complimentary YMCA membership to our Health & Fitness facilities
Access to Y at Home, where you can participate in fitness programs from your own home
Discounts on YMCA childcare and camp programs
Complimentary wellbeing and counselling services

About the Role

We are seeking a team of experienced, dedicated, and passionate Site Leads to deliver and support outstanding and intentional programming across our six Summer Day Camp locations within the Halifax Regional Municipality, including Spryfield, Cole Harbour, Sackville, and Halifax.

Lead communication efforts with parents/guardians, providing updates and addressing concerns
Relay site needs and challenges to the Camp Director, collaborating to find solutions
Collaborate with fellow counsellors and staff to create a positive and inclusive camp environment
Serve as a role model in conduct and childcare best practices
Enforce camp safety rules, first aid, and emergency response procedures
Conduct regular headcounts to maintain safety standards and child safeguarding practices
Remain flexible in handling unexpected situations and schedule changes
Cultivate an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity
Ensure the camp location is left in good standing, following proper cleaning and closing procedures
Approach each day with a caring and understanding attitude, connecting with campers to create a memorable experience
Other duties as assigned

Education and Skills Qualifications:

High School diploma, or equivalent combination of education and experience, with a strong character reference
Post-secondary education in Early Childhood Education or related field is an asset
Experience working with children and youth, including children with exceptionalities
Proven success in planning/organizing games, sports, arts, crafts, cultural activities, and field trips
Cross-cultural communication skills to work with youth, parents, and staff
Ability to meet multiple, competing deadlines and priorities
Strong attention to detail
Excellent verbal, written, and presentation/workshop facilitation skills
Strong interpersonal skills

To Apply:

All successful candidates are required to provide:

Criminal Record Check, Vulnerable Sector Check, and Child Abuse Registry Check (less than 6 months old), if 18 years of age or older
Attend Child Safeguarding Training upon hire
