Job Opportunity: Mentor – Part-Time, Casual (15-24 hours per week)
Open Sky Co-operative, Ltd.
Open Sky Co-operative is excited to invite applications to join our Mentor Team for part-time and casual employment.
We provide support and training to neurodivergent young adults who face challenges related to autism, learning disabilities, or mental health. Our base is a small sustainable farm located in the municipality of Tantramar, where we also offer assistance to participants in their homes and within the community as needed.
As a Mentor at Open Sky, you will demonstrate maturity, reliability, patience, and outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, enabling you to build trust and safety with those you support. While relevant post-secondary education and/or experience is beneficial, what matters most is your aptitude for accommodating various learning styles and needs. Basic training in Food Handling, First Aid, Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, and/or Mental Health First Aid is advantageous, as is possessing a Driver’s license. A Criminal Records Check is mandatory.
Our top priority is our program participants, so leadership skills in managing small groups are valuable. Mentors are also expected to assist with routine tasks on the farm, in the kitchen, and around the property. We are looking for someone who will complement our team and is passionate about learning and making a positive impact in others' lives.
If this sounds like you, please send a one-page cover letter outlining your interests along with your resume to Laura Hunter, Executive Director, at info@openskyco-op.ca by November 20th.
