Developmental Specialists provide guidance and support to help families navigate challenges and promote positive developmental outcomes.

Hours / Schedule:

Responsibilities:

Using a guided caregiver-driven approach which focuses on the family’s individual needs and, strengths, Developmental Specialists may (depending on the family’s service preferences):

Cooperate with the Practice Lead, Agency Leadership/Management, and administrative personnel to coordinate and implement program services and initiatives.

Implement developmentally appropriate strategies and therapies for infants and children with developmental needs or those at risk of delay.
Provide monitoring and intervention for older children/youth with FASD and other neurodiversities, supporting families through various stages of development and challenges.
Demonstrate knowledge of early childhood development, including typical and atypical development, Indigenous culture and issues, and local resources and services.
Provide developmental monitoring using a family-centered approach to promote positive parent-child interactions.
Support parents in understanding child development, focusing on the child’s needs rather than diagnoses.
Assist parents in fostering secure attachments and recognizing developmental cues to optimize their child's growth.
Participate in the use of screening tools (e.g., ASQ) to guide decision-making and interventions.
Assist with the completion of Functional Assessments to determine disability service eligibility for families in need.
Collaborate with families, FCC providers (e.g., PT, OT, SLP), and community partners, including schools, to deliver goal-focused interventions and support developmental goals.
Support Child and Youth Care Workers in developing intervention plans for clients needing higher levels of consultation and collaboration.
Provide education, consultation, and advocacy to promote inclusivity and support diverse groups from a developmental perspective.
Work in the best interest of the child (or youth) within the context of healthy family relationships and a supportive community.
Participate in ongoing education and training to stay informed of current standards and best practices.

Other responsibilities include:

Building relationships and connections within the community to improve service integration.
Appling culturally safe and agile, trauma informed, relational and person / family-centered modalities.

Preferred Education and Experience:

A master’s degree in a related Social Services or Human Services discipline (MEd in Early Childhood Education, MSW, MA in Counselling or MA in Psychology etc.) is preferred.
Candidates with a bachelor’s degree in a Social Services or Human Services discipline (i.e.: BSW, CYC, Early Childhood Care and Education, BA in Psychology etc.) with a minimum of 2-years relevant experience will be considered.

Experience in Infant Development Programming.

Experience working as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

Must undergo a screening process, including a criminal record

Wage / Benefit:

$42.05 - 43.55 per hour, based on relevant experience and education.

Upon successful completion of a trial period, this position is eligible for a full benefit package (including dental plan, vision coverage, life insurance, extended medical coverage, long-term disability plan, and RRSP or TFSA contributions); as well as accrued vacation and sick time at 5.8% - above BC Employment Standards
