Job Description

A day in the life of the Marguerite\xe2\x80\x99s Place Program Coordinator could include anything from starting the day drafting plans to support a resident in working with a Managed Alcohol Program, planning for prison inreach visits in Clarenville, spending the afternoon writing a proposal for a garden space for residents, and supporting housing workers to gain new skills and develop new programming based on resident needs. No two days will be the same in this position, but it will be fulfilling, you will know you are doing important work, and you will be part of a team that believes in balance, harm reduction,and approaches all of their work with an intersectional feminist perspective. This is challenging work, no doubt, but you will be supported to envision a future in which affordable and supportive housing, focused on harm reduction first, is available to all women and non-binary people in our community and you will be empowered to build that future. Marguerite\'s Place was opened by the St. John\xe2\x80\x99s Status of Women Council in 2011, to provide safe, affordable housing and supports to women and non-binary people over the age of thirty from a Housing First perspective. Residents are invited to stay in our accessible, fully furnished bachelorette suites for up to three years while receiving supports, transitioning to independent living in the community. The SJSWC values the important perspectives that diversity brings, both in our organization and in our community; we are taking steps to ensure our hiring practices reflect that value. Our goal is to attract, develop, and retain skilled and strong volunteers and employees from diverse backgrounds allowing us to benefit from a wide variety of experiences and perspectives. In line with this, preference will be given to and applications are encouraged from women (transgender and cisgender) and non-binary people who are: Indigenous, Black, and people of colour, people who are differently abled in both visible and/or invisible ways, people with experiences in substance use, the sex trade, and people with experience in the criminal justice system. If you require an accommodation at any stage of the recruitment and selection process, please let us know and we will work with you to meet your needs.
