About Us:

Atira Women’s Resource Society (Atira) is a non‑profit organization known for inclusionary hiring practices, values‑driven work, and innovative approaches to supporting communities it serves. Rooted in feminist, anti‑violence principles, Atira provides housing, programs, and supports for people of all genders, with a continued focus on addressing gendered violence, misogyny, and systemic oppression. Atira believes a job is more than a paycheque – it’s an opportunity to contribute to meaningful systemic and social change.

About the role:

Reporting to the Program Manager, Maxxine Wright Place, the Pregnancy Outreach worker will be working alongside other health and social service providers in Surrey and surrounding communities to support women who are pregnant and at risk to access services to increase and improve factors that lead to healthy birth outcomes. The Pregnancy Outreach worker (POW) will support primarily women who are low medical risk and high social risk.

The POW will work with women who are experiencing or have experienced violence and abuse, who may be struggling with substance use and or mental wellness, who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or unsafely housed, involved in street‑level sex work, criminalized, newly arrived to Canada, and women from communities that are hard to reach because of social, cultural or economic barriers.

The POW’s primary responsibility is supporting the woman, to support her pregnancy. A compassionate pro‑choice orientation is required.

Please note:

This program serves individuals who identify and live full time as women, including those who have experienced gender based violence and misogyny.

To ensure a safe, accessible, trauma‑informed, and culturally responsive environment for residents, this position requires staff who identify and live full time as women. The presence of women staff is essential to meeting residents’ needs related to safety, dignity, privacy, and effective support.

This requirement is consistent with established best practices under human rights laws for providing services to vulnerable groups and reflects our commitment to providing community based, gender responsive service delivery and supports the development of trust, safety, and meaningful engagement between residents, tenants, participants and staff.

You are comfortable working in a harm reduction environment and supporting people who may be experiencing substance use and/or mental wellness challenges. You support those who choose abstinence while recognizing abstinence is just one option among many. You are inclusive and affirming of people of all genders, including transgender, Two‑Spirit, intersex, transfeminine and non‑binary individuals, and understand the realities of gendered violence, misogyny, systemic barriers and how these harms disproportionately impact women.

You are sex worker positive – you understand sex work, including survival sex work, as part of a broader social, economic, and gendered context and bring an approach…
