WHO WE ARE

YouthLink believes in the potential of every youth, and we are dedicated to providing them with the support, guidance and opportunities they need to make positive life choices. We provide youth with brief and ongoing counselling, in-home wraparound support, shelter, housing, educational support, and safe drop-in spaces.
Guided by our mission and inspired by the potential to make a profound impact, Youthlink works closely with youth, families and partners in our community. We come together to highlight and develop strengths, aspirations and positive actions that improve the health and well-being of all who live, work, study and play in our community. As a service delivery organization, we leverage data-driven decision-making and grassroots engagement with youth advisory councils to create an inclusive, innovative, and responsive agency that provides the best fit and most needed services for our communities.
If you are seeking a meaningful opportunity and want to play a key role in bringing our vision for a stronger Scarborough where all youth and families thrive, join us.

WHO WE NEED

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Clinical Services, we are looking for a Youth and Family Therapist to join our Counselling Services program. In this role, you will provide exceptional individual, family, and group therapy to youth aged 12-24 and their families, helping them navigate mental health, emotional, and behavioral challenges. As our new Youth and Family Therapist you will build trusting, therapeutic relationships that create a safe and supportive space for healing. Utilizing attachment-based, family-focused, trauma-informed, and healing-centered approaches—through an equity, anti-racist, and inclusion lens—you will deliver impactful care tailored to client needs.
This is an onsite role based at our head office, requiring a schedule that includes at least two evenings per week, ending at 8:00 pm.

APPLY NOW.

We welcome applications from candidates who reflect the communities we serve, particularly candidates from Black communities, Indigenous communities, racialized people, persons with disabilities, members of diverse gender identities and people with lived experiences.
We are seeking candidates who demonstrably operate and practice from an equity and trauma-informed lens. We encourage applications from passionate professionals who will help us dismantle systemic barriers and embrace working outside of Euro-centric practices.
If you meet 70% of the qualifications we are looking for and share 100% of our passion and commitment to supporting youth and their families, please submit your application. We can’t promise to hire you; we can promise to review your lived and learned experiences fully.

We are committed to providing equitable employment opportunities and a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. We are equally committed to providing an inclusive and accessible workplace. If you require accommodations at any stage of the interview process, please email us at accessibility@youthlink.ca.

• As a funded organization offering mental health services, our regulatory guidelines require certification and registration in good standing with a governing board or college. Out of respect for your time, we ask for proof in advance of hiring manager interviews as this is a mandatory requirement.
