Full job description

We are currently seeking a casual Mental Health & Substance Use (MHSU) Support Worker to join our Mental Health team at the Castlegar and Distrct Health Centre located in Castlegar, B.C.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about people and believes in their ability to grow, recover, and build meaningful lives. The ideal MH&SU Support Worker is compassionate, patient, and practical—someone who can meet clients where they’re at while encouraging independence and confidence over time. You’re comfortable working alongside individuals facing mental health, behavioural, or developmental challenges, and you bring a calm, respectful, and non-judgmental approach to every interaction. Whether you’re coaching life skills, supporting daily routines, or helping someone take steps toward employment or community connection, you focus on strengths and possibilities rather than limitations. You work well as part of a team, communicate clearly, and stay attentive to changes in client needs, all while helping to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where people can build skills, navigate challenges, and move toward their personal goals.

What we offer:

Competitive salary and an attractive remuneration package
Career Growth
Employer paid training/education
Balanced lifestyle

What will you work on?

The MH&SU Support Worker provides life skills training, coaching, advocacy, information, and support services for clients experiencing mental health, behavioural and developmental problems in accordance with an established plan of care.

As a key member of the team, the MH&SU Support Worker provides interventions primarily focused on specific skills training and support needs of clients such as helping individuals to acquire relapse prevention, community adjustment, and employment skills. In line with psychosocial rehabilitation / recovery principles, the MH&SU Support Worker facilitates client empowerment and competency development within the four domains of psychosocial rehabilitation (personal life, education, leisure, and work). All rehabilitation and recovery oriented services are to be offered in a manner which respects individual strengths, interest, capacity, and choice. To maximize the opportunity for individual growth and independence, specific attention is given to issues related to skills transfer, generalization, and maintenance. As the client and team delineate various rehabilitation and support needs, the MH&SU Support Worker assists clients in identifying and working through the steps for success.

The MH&SU Support Worker monitors client goal attainment, proactively assists individuals in averting potential crises, and reports client status and progress to the Case Coordinator or the multidisciplinary team. Apart from specific rehabilitation outcomes, this includes such things as any noted reactions to medication.

The MH&SU Support Worker coordinates, plans, promotes, arranges, facilitates and evaluates specialized PSR programs such as Clubhouses, Supportive Housing, Vocational Support Programs, as required.

Scheduling Information:

Shifts of work are Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 16:30 hours. This is a Casual opportunity. Casual means there are no guaranteed hours and work requirements can vary from 0 - 37.5 hours per week. Many careers with us begin with casual employment and lead to permanent or temporary career opportunities.

Your contributions will not only shape the future of our organization but also enrich the community, leaving a lasting legacy that extends far beyond the confines of the workplace.
