The Volunteer’s Role

The overall purpose of this placement is to assist the Department of Rural Development with the objective of enhancing and improving their day-to-day human resources management system; supporting the establishment of guidelines and procedures; and making links between paper-based and computer-based data.

This placement is intended to continue the work of our previous HR Advisor volunteer.

Whilst the current Administration Department is responsible for HR, there is no one specifically assigned to the HR function and DRD feels their current recruitment strategy needs to be updated to incorporate the wider remit of their department and to ensure strong performance management and well-defined roles for all their team members.

As a volunteer, you will:

- Review the HR management system that was previously implemented by a volunteer and apply the knowledge into the day to day work

- Develop an employee job satisfaction and engagement survey at the workforce

- Share Canadian HR practices that will be beneficial and review the Union Civic Service rules and regulations

- Develop efficient guidelines and best practices to be used in the organization

Essential Academic Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in a field relevant to HR management and Organizational Behavior.

Essential Professional Background:

- Proven ability to establish collaborative relationships with senior leaders and leading organizational change associated with implementation
- 5-7 years of progressive HR experience, with a proven track record of establishing and leading new initiatives from the ground up.
