      • Full professional fluency in spoken and written English and French, with the ability to independently facilitate sessions in both languages.

      • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to manage sensitive or challenging conversations with empathy and patience.

      • Ability to establish and maintain firm, appropriate professional boundaries.

      • Confidence managing group dynamics and engaging participants who may be hesitant or resistant.

      • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.

      • Availability to work evenings and weekends, with flexibility to accommodate fluctuating weekly hours based on program demand.

      • Must reside in Ontario.

      • Proficiency with virtual meeting platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

      • Access to a personal computer and phone for remote work.
