Options Community Services is a non-profit organization dedicated to delivering social services across the Southern Fraser region (Surrey, Delta, White Rock and Langley) from early childhood to seniors. Our comprehensive range of programs and services relies on collaborative relationships with individuals, businesses, community groups and government bodies to create focused, effective and responsive resources for the community.
Position Overview
We’re on the lookout for an enthusiastic Peer Support Worker to be the backbone of our team! In this dynamic role, working alongside the Peer Coordinator, interdisciplinary teams, and community partners, the Peer Support Worker supports individuals across the continuum of substance use and recovery. This includes meeting participants where they are, supporting harm reduction and safer substance use, exploring recovery when identified by the participant, strengthening recovery capital, supporting relapse prevention and re-engagement, and connecting individuals with treatment, recovery, housing, health, and community resources. The role recognizes that recovery is personal and may look different for each individual. Support is participant-led and grounded in harm reduction, recovery-oriented practice, trauma-informed care, cultural safety, dignity, choice, hope, and respect.
Qualifications:
The ideal candidate for this position will build trusting, respectful, and non-judgmental relationships with participants. Provide one-to-one peer support informed by lived and/or living experience. Share lived experience appropriately to foster connection, hope, and possibility. Support participants in identifying strengths, goals, and next steps. Promote self-determination, empowerment, belonging, and community connection. Model and encourage healthy boundaries, self-advocacy, and wellness.
The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of harm reduction, recovery-oriented practice, trauma-informed care, housing-first principles, and the broader systems related to mental health, substance use, homelessness, and community supports. The candidate should have excellent communication, relationship-building, facilitation, mentorship, leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively within interdisciplinary teams.
*An eligibility list may be maintained for up to six months. Eligible applicants may be offered a casual position.
This role requires the incumbent to undergo a Police Information Check (PIC), and a Vulnerable Sector Check by the Ministry of Justice.
