Durham Children’s Aid Society

Durham Children’s Aid Society (CAS) works with families and our community partners to help children grow up safe, healthy and happy. In most instances, we are able to keep children safe while continuing to live in their own family unit by working with parents to assist them in addressing any challenges they may be facing.

We are legally mandated under Ontario's Child, Youth and Family Services Act to provide child protection services to children under the age of 18 for all children and families living in Durham Region.

What Can We Offer You?

We offer competitive salaries and an excellent benefits package.
Our benefits package includes:

• Short-term sick leave and long-term sick leave benefits.
• Extended health care and dental coverage plans.
