At McMan Calgary & Area, connection is at our core. Every year, we make a meaningful difference in the lives of more than 5,000 children, youth, adults, and families by providing programs and services that support those with complex needs—including mental health challenges, addictions, homelessness, poverty, and disabilities. We believe in everyone’s deep and infinite worth, and no matter who you are, we will walk alongside you.

Through our work, we rebuild, integrate, and strengthen connections—to self, peers, families, communities, support professionals, and the land—because people need people. Our sense of well-being, identity, and belonging comes from relationships, and healing happens through these connections. Professional supports are there for a season or a reason—not a lifetime—because our goal is to empower individuals and families to thrive independently.

McMan is recruiting for a Part-Time Transitions Specialist (Education and Employment) to join our team. The Transitions Specialist ensures services effectively address the most relevant barriers young people encounter in achieving long-term housing stability. The Transition Specialist assists in connecting youth to educational resources, facilitates workshops on life skills, financial literacy, and job readiness, and provides support and mediation to strengthen youth's natural supports and shared goals in their transition to independence. Key responsibilities include building partnerships among service providers and local businesses to create a comprehensive network for youth access to employment and financial supports.

McMan provides a robust blend of employee benefits, personal days, learning & development, and the opportunity to contribute to the community at large. Access is provided to most benefits within the first month of employment, with a plan that includes income protection, health, dental, paramedical services, vision, prescription drug coverage, an Employee & Family Assistance Program, and a Wellness Spending Account. A 100% employer contribution pension plan is also provided after 6 months of employment. With paid vacation, a flexible schedule, and personal days, the organization encourages a work life balance.

Our organization is on an active reconciliation journey. Indigenous protocols, Elder guidance, and cultural learning are part of our workplace culture. Indigenous staff are supported through relational supervision and cultural practices.

 

McMan is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and recognizes that a diverse staff benefits and enriches the work environment and contributes to organizational excellence. We acknowledge that Indigenous lived experience, community connection, and cultural knowledge are valuable forms of expertise. At McMan, we welcome applications from qualified individuals from diverse backgrounds and encourage Indigenous applicants to share their experiences in ways that feel meaningful to them.
