Short-Term Contract Opportunity
The BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund is looking to fill a four-month contract position for the role of Burn Camp Coordinator.
About Burn Camp
Burn Camp is one of the oldest and most successful programs delivered by the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Association Burn Fund. The camp is held at the Cheakamus Centre near Squamish, where approximately 75 children and youth from across British Columbia come together for a safe, fun summer camp experience. Supported by an amazing volunteer team, including both fire fighters and care professionals (nurses, social workers, counsellors), campers are provided the psychological and social support to best ensure future success at home, at school, and in their community. The camp provides a safe and comfortable environment where children make new friends, challenge themselves, learn new skills, and spend time in the great outdoors. For 2022, the Burn Fund intends to operate an in-person camp from July 17-22.
About the role
The Burn Camp Coordinator will provide administrative support for the camp committee and serve as the liaison to the committee on behalf of the Burn Fund. More specifically, key duties will include:
budgeting, committee meetings, itinerary, logistics (volunteer, facility, travel, etc.), registration, post-camp evaluations and reports, as well as other duties as required to support the committee to activate the camp.
The four-month contract to serve as the Burn Camp Coordinator will run from April to July 2022. The coordinator will be paid $11,200 + GST, based on a rate of $35/hour and an average of 80 hours/month.
The successful candidate will be highly organized and a superior communicator who is comfortable communicating across all mediums (in-person, email, Google meetings). Previous experience working with volunteers is essential, and experience working with/for the fire fighter and/or burn survivor community is considered an asset.
