Featured Careers

As a case manager at Foundry Vancouver, you will be part of an exceptionally skilled and passionate team. There are 8 outreach case managers (4 MSW trained Social Workers and 4 RN/RPN’s) who work as a team to provide care to youth living in the downtown core or east side community of Vancouver. The case managers support each other to outreach vulnerable youth to engage and provide support and care. If a youth has difficulty coming to the clinic to meet then the case managers will go to them. This could be in their home, in the community such as a shelter, drop in center or on the street. Being able to build a safe trusting relationship with a youth is important as most have experienced loss, abuse and trauma through important people in their lives in addition to the failure of the systems which were set out to protect them. Being comfortable with working with youth suffering from a mental illness or under the influence of substances is useful. Having an understanding of the impact of trauma and neurodevelopment is helpful. Being able to work from a place of cultural humility and respect is required. As a case manager, you will be supported to develop the skills needed to work in a diverse exciting environment. Foundry offers training in Emotion Focused Family Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. You will also be supported to enrol in DBT training as well as suicide assessment and intervention. Our case managers also help support the various group programming happening in our clinic as co facilitators with our psychiatrists, psychologists and rehabilitation team.
