Organization overview
Are you passionate about making a difference? Join the SafeCare BC team and have a positive impact on healthcare workers across the province. We are a non-profit health and safety association for BC’s continuing care sector. Our mandate is to reduce injuries among care workers and leaders by providing education, training, and resources across the province.
Working at SafeCare BC is suited for someone who is motivated by making a meaningful impact for health care workers by implementing evidence-based resources through the creation of practical, people-centred OHS services. As a small organization, we often adapt quickly to meet the changing needs of our members, which requires flexibility, curiosity, and a willingness to contribute in different ways.
Position Overview
Reporting to the OHS Services Department, the OHS Services Program Coordinator role will primarily support the development and implementation of psychological health and safety initiatives through data management, reporting, resource development, project coordination and administrative support.
Working closely with our subject matter expert and staff, the Coordinator helps transform information, evidence, and data into practical resources, reports, and tools that educate and support our members to create safer and heathier workplaces.

Currently, this is part-time role (0.6 FTE / 3 days a week) with potential for this role to expand to full-time in the future. As this role is dependent on grant funding, it has currently been set to a three-year term.
