Full job description

Freedom Quest is a community-based youth substance use service serving the West Kootenay Boundary region. We partner with youth aged 12–19 and their families to reduce substance-related harms and build lasting wellness — in a safe, stigma-free, and culturally relevant environment.

Develop participant-centred care plans collaboratively with youth, families, and caregivers
Deliver individual, family, and group counselling using evidence-informed approaches

Collaborate with schools, MCFD, Interior Health, and community organizations
Provide psychoeducation to families and increase caregiver capacity and confidence
Travel throughout the Boundary region to serve all communities
Maintain accurate clinical documentation and contribute to program evaluation

Required qualifications

Education- Master's degree in social work, psychology, nursing, or equivalent healthcare field
Clinical experience- Minimum 2 years each in child/youth mental health and substance use services
Mandatory certifications & requirements - Valid BC Class V Driver's Licence; Satisfactory Driver's Abstract; Reliable vehicle + insurance; Criminal Record Check; First Aid & CPR Certification

Knowledge & approach

Evidence-informed therapeutic modalities and concurrent disorder treatment
Trauma-informed, harm reduction, and recovery-oriented care frameworks
Cultural safety, humility, and distinctions-based approaches for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples
Biopsychosocial-spiritual lens within an ecological framework
Demonstrated experience working with LGBTQ2S+ youth and families
Strong crisis intervention, risk assessment, and case management skills
Commitment to lifelong learning and self-reflexive practice

What we offer

Regular clinical supervision from a qualified supervisor
Flexible, community-based service delivery across a scenic region
Collaborative and supportive team environment
Meaningful work with one of BC's most underserved youth populations
Participation in strategic planning and program development
Ongoing professional development opportunities
