About the role

As part of the Early Resolutions team in the Children and Youth Unit, you will be the first contact for people coming to the Ontario Ombudsman’s Office with complaints about services provided by children’s aid societies (CAS), residential licensees, youth justice centres and secure treatment facilities.

EROs must be able to capably frame issues for escalation and for regular reporting to senior management.

Each ERO manages a caseload of files, conducts research, makes inquiries, and assists with trend analysis to identify complaint patterns and potential systemic issues. In addition to receiving complaints by email and letter, EROs use their active listening and interviewing skills to take complaints over the phone and in person, at times dealing with complainants who may require special accommodation, or who may be frustrated and distressed by their experience.
