Working Environment

This is a full-time (100% FTE, 37.5 hours per week) position within the Country Roads Program, a collaborative team of three members: a part-time Director (60% FTE) and two Counselors (one full-time at 100% FTE and one part-time at 60% FTE). The team meets formally at least once per week, and individual supervision is provided weekly to support professional growth and effective case management. Client treatment and case management at EYS are highly collaborative, fostering a team-oriented approach.

All EYS staff participate in a monthly morning meeting and periodic staff development activities. Ample professional development opportunities are available, particularly those supporting the maintenance of licensing requirements.

This role involves operating standard office equipment, including keyboards, and requires close visual acuity for tasks such as viewing computer monitors, entering electronic data, and completing forms. Candidates must have the physical mobility to move short distances, carry lightweight materials, and drive a vehicle. Local travel is an essential part of the role, with occasional long-distance travel for professional development activities.
