Description
Do you have experience planning and facilitating Indigenous engagements? Are you a strategic thinker looking for meaningful work in B.C.? Consider joining our team in this new and important role with BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner.
BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner (BCOHRC) exists to address the root causes of inequality, discrimination and injustice in B.C. by shifting laws, policies, practices and cultures. We do this work through education, research, advocacy, inquiry and monitoring.
The Indigenous Strategist, Education & Engagement (ISEE) increases relevance of the human rights system for Indigenous Peoples in B.C., provides strategic advice on integration of Indigenous considerations to BCOHRC’s education and engagement projects and supports development of BCOHRC’s capacity to act on Indigenous rights issues. Reporting to the Executive Director, Education and Engagement (ED, E&E), the Indigenous Strategist is instrumental in building, supporting, and maintaining relationships with Indigenous communities, organizations and leadership. In this role, the Indigenous Strategist organizes, implements and facilitates wise practice engagements as well as supports the relationship-building work of other departments.
Equity and diversity
One of BCOHRC’s guiding principles is to embed a decolonizing approach into all our work and recognize that human rights can be held by individuals or groups. We are decolonizing our organizational structure through the intentional placement of Indigenous (and other marginalized) peoples in positions in any departments rather than positions specific to their self-identified group.
To help us achieve that goal, we have applied for and received Special Program Approval pursuant so s.42(3) of the Human Rights Code to offer this position to Indigenous applicants only.
To assist us with screening, please ensure your application clearly indicates that you self-identify as an Indigenous person.
