Accountable for all HR service delivery in the region, you are a service-focused collaborative leader who enjoys a challenge: recruiting nurses when there is a national shortage of RNs and LPNs; building constructive working relationships with three unions; and cultivating a healthy and fun culture that contributes to team member wellness and engagement. In addition, you oversee recruitment and onboarding processes, disability management, and health and safety initiatives. You provide expert labour relations advice and guidance, including collective agreement interpretation, investigations, corrective action process, and managing the grievance process up to and including arbitrations.
As an Ambassador of Baptist Housing and our values, you develop and maintain supportive relationships; value learning; embrace innovative change; and promote health and wellness for our residents and your fellow team members.
This is a full-time, permanent position located in Victoria. Total compensation includes competitive salary, comprehensive benefits package, four weeks’ vacation, RRSP matching, and support for professional development.

You navigate conflict well and bring seasoned critical thinking, problem solving and negotiation skills. You are highly service oriented, focused on outcomes, and able to work independently and as a collaborative team member. You are detailed and organized, and able to manage your time, workload and conflicting priorities effectively and efficiently.
