We are seeking a leader who has knowledge and an understanding of Indigenous cultures and practices; current and historical issues; Indigenous cultural safety and cultural humility; Indigenous-specific racism, and anti-racism; equity, diversity, and inclusion; and Indigenous worldviews to take on the role of Director of Indigenous Pathways. The successful candidate will have three to five years of progressive experience implementing anti-racism, Indigenous Cultural Safety and Humility (ICSH)(CSH), equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), and anti-oppression programs in complex organizations.
Supported by the Deputy Registrar, the Director of Indigenous Pathways co-creates and co-leads the strategy to transform workplace, policies, and structures reflective or organizational commitment to systemic cross sectoral leadership toward reconciliation, ICSH, anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion. This role is also responsible for co-leading and guiding the continued growth and establishment of culturally safe practices, while creating alignment with legislative mandates. The Director, in concert with the Deputy Registrar, is responsible for co-leading and actualizing strategic projects and regulatory initiatives that address systemic injustice and harms.
OUR VALUES
Accountability
We value the importance of our work and take responsibility for our decisions, words and actions.
Integrity
We act ethically, honestly and in good faith.
Indigenous Cultural Safety and Humility
We help to ensure that Indigenous Peoples have access to a culturally safe healthcare system, free from Indigenous-specific racism.
Respect
We value the feelings, culture and preferences of others and recognize that they are as important as our own.
OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION COMMITMENT
The release of the In Plain Sight report in November 2020 underscored the urgent need for all partners in the healthcare system to take swift and decisive action to dismantle the systemic racism that has led to such poor health outcomes for First Nations, Métis and Inuit (Indigenous) Peoples.
CPBC has committed to regulating pharmacy professionals in support of public safety, optimal health, and culturally safe, equitable care, free from Indigenous-specific and other forms of racism. Through this commitment, we are working to create spaces where Indigenous Peoples have access to culturally safe pharmacy care, where racism and discrimination are called out and eliminated. We are further committed to decolonizing regulatory processes that create undue barriers for Indigenous registrants and members of the public. We understand, respect, and promote awareness of the rights and interests of Indigenous Peoples in relation to accessing regulatory services and continue to actively search out and include Indigenous ways of knowing and being into our policies and practices.
We strive to cultivate a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment where educational initiatives aimed at nurturing equity, diversity, and inclusion, are offered; cultural and social awareness are encouraged; and religious observances are honoured.
Salary and Benefits
The salary for this position is in the range of $130K-145K annually, based on a 35-hour work week.
