Project Lead

College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC

2d • Remote

About The Position

The Project Lead supports CCHPBC’s ongoing learning and organizational development journey, helping embed reconciliation, cultural safety, Indigenous inclusion, anti-racism, anti-bias, and anti-discrimination into organizational culture and everyday work. This is not a traditional project role and does not involve independently owning reconciliation work. Instead, the Project Lead works collaboratively with employees, leaders, committees, and the Board to strengthen their confidence, knowledge, and accountability and to support lasting organizational change that continues beyond the 12-month contract.

The role contributes to the College’s public protection mandate and supports efficient, responsive services aligned with the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), reconciliation commitments, and the College’s regulatory, strategic, and operational goals. Success includes stronger organizational capacity, relationships, and shared ownership of this work, supported by sustainable tools, frameworks, resources, and practices.

This is a remote position with occasional travel to the CCHPBC office as required. It is a temporary 12-month contract at 22.5 hours per week (0.6 FTE). The full-time equivalent salary range is $150,000 to $175,000 per year, prorated to the 0.6 FTE schedule. Starting salary depends on qualifications, relevant experience, internal equity, market conditions, and other job-related factors.
