A great opportunity to take the next step in your career.

Family Justice Services Division (FJSD) delivers programs and services that promote the timely and just resolution of family disputes within a comprehensive family justice system. Through community-based Justice Access Centres and Family Justice Centres, FJSD provides various in person and virtual programs and services, including initial needs determination, dispute resolution, Section 211 Family Law Act reports, and Parenting After Separation online courses.

With close to 200 employees based across the province, FJSD provides a working environment that includes meaningful careers with opportunities for training, professional development, mentorship, and growth. Our core values are to work in an inclusive and diverse, professional, culturally welcoming and trusting environment that values curiosity, flexibility, and empowering others to find and determine their path or solutions. We offer flexible work arrangements and benefits that support work-life harmony and help employees reach personal and professional goals while making a real different in the lives of children, youth, and families.

Initial needs determination (IND) is part of the dispute resolution process and involves exploring with the client the reason they have contacted Family Justice Services Division. During IND, the Justice Interviewer provides the client with basic program/service information, conducts a preliminary evaluation as to whether the client’s issues/needs may be served by FJSD services or those of an external agency, and makes the corresponding referrals. This service is delivered by phone using an integrated telephone/software system and in person.

The JI elicits, verifies, and ascertains information from clients at the point of initial contact, including screening for dynamics of family violence or issues requiring urgent attention. Based on this information, the JI assists the client in assessing options and makes referrals to various services as needed.
