As the Program is developed, the Community and Support Coordinator will be responsible for overseeing delivery of the program, such as facilitating the Community Reference Group, managing a small team, developing partnerships with external support providers and stakeholders, overseeing critical case management issues and delivering on program reporting requirements.
