Education: Graduate of a Child and Youth Care (CYC/CYW) program. An equivalent diploma or degree in a related field (e.g., DSW, ECE, Behavioral Science) paired with relevant experience will be considered.
Autism Expertise: Proven hands-on experience working with children or youth on the Autism Spectrum (ASD) and managing complex developmental/sensory needs.
Collaboration: Strong ability to build supportive, collaborative working relationships with foster parents, agency staff, and community partners.
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills for effective reporting and team collaboration.
