Who We Are

For over 50 years, Distress Centre has served Calgary and Southern Alberta by providing 24-hour crisis support, information, and resources at no cost. Distress Centre does not define crisis. We do not judge. Anyone can call us day or night.

We are committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive workplace where employees are valued, experience a sense of belonging, and are confident being their most authentic selves. We welcome and encourage applications from Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, and members of equity-deserving groups.

What to Expect

The Director, External Relations & Development is a strategic leadership role reporting to the CEO, responsible for directing DCC’s fundraising, government relations, communications, and community engagement efforts to advance the organization’s mission and impact.

This role requires building and leading a high-performing team, cultivating relationships with internal counterparts, donors, sponsors, and community partners, and aligning external relations strategy with organizational goals.
