• Collaborative mindset and ability to build rapport with diverse stakeholders.

• Commitment to trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and survivor-centered practice.

• Ability to manage feedback, maintain attention to detail, and adapt to evolving project goals.

Requirements:

• Criminal record check with vulnerable sector screening is required. However, Restorations acknowledges the experiences of survivors and will review checks on a case-by-case basis in line with the values of growth and advocacy.

• Access to a reliable internet connection and suitable technology for remote work.

• Willingness to conduct regular virtual check-ins and uphold professionalism and accountability regardless of location.

• Adherence to Restorations’ code of conduct and agency values.

Hours and Work Location:
