Child Protection Worker - Rotational Schedule - Eligibility List

The Ministry of Social Services invests in positive outcomes for people in areas of income support, child and family services, support for persons with disabilities and affordable housing. We work with citizens as they build better lives for themselves through economic independence, strong families, and strong community organizations.

Does working in a Northern location of the province with a flexible work rotation interest you? We are looking for dynamic individuals who are devoted to helping others and improving the lives and well-being of children and families to join our team as Child Protection Workers. In this role, you will provide a range of services designed to provide protective, preventative and support services to children and their families using the Family Centred Case Management Model of practice.

We recognize the importance employees place on having flexibility in their work and the balance between work and family. We have the unique opportunity to offer candidates interested in working in our Meadow Lake location a Drive In and Drive Out position, over a four (4) week average period. You will work 11-hour days (Monday through Saturday) with scheduled days off.

While on location, Child Protection Workers may also provide Emergency Duty Work in the evenings, when required. Additionally, the successful candidates may be compensated for travel time from their home location to Meadow Lake at the beginning and end of the rotation. Staff housing may also be provided.

All candidates must possess a current driver's license valid in Saskatchewan, as the successful candidate will be required to travel, work flexible hours that may include evenings or weekends, and transport children (or parents) within the service delivery area and province.

Candidates must clearly indicate in their cover letter or resume where they have acquired their knowledge, skills, and abilities. Selection of candidates will be assessed based on this information.

To qualify for this position, you will possess a Bachelor of Social Work, Bachelor of Indian Social Work or an equivalent Social Work degree from an accredited university as approved by the CASSW.

While the representation of Indigenous staff within the Ministry of Social Services has been prioritized, all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. All candidate applications will be reviewed, and only those candidates requested to interview will be contacted.

This competition will be used to create an eligibility list that will be valid for up to six (6) months and will be used to staff current and future opportunities.
