Location: Edmonton

Full or Part-Time: Full Time Hours of Work: 36.25 hours per week

Permanent/Temporary/Wage: 2 permanent positions Scope: Open

Closing Date: November 13, 2026 Classification: Program Services 4

The Alberta Public Service works to build a stronger province for current and future generations. We make a difference in the lives of Albertans through rewarding career opportunities.

The Ministry of Mental Health and Addiction is advancing the Alberta Recovery Model as part of broader health system transformation, focusing on a recovery-oriented approach to addiction and mental health care.

A recovery-oriented system of care is a coordinated network of personalized, community-based services for people at risk of or experiencing addiction and mental health challenges. It provides access to a full continuum of services and supports, from prevention and intervention to treatment and recovery. The vision is for every Albertan to have the opportunity to pursue recovery and live a healthy and productive life. The Ministry also liaises with several stakeholders, including the Office of the Alberta Health Advocates and Recovery Alberta. See Alberta Mental Health and Addiction to learn more.

Role Responsibilities

Are you excited by the opportunity to build something new – something that will make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of Albertans while advancing a recovery‑oriented mental health and addiction system in Alberta? Do you thrive in a positive team environment, embrace diverse perspectives, and work together toward a shared vision? If so, we invite you to join our team as we develop and establish an innovative program designed to support individuals whose substance use or addiction places them at risk of harm to themselves or others.

Reporting to the Associate Director within the Statutory Director's Office (SDO), the Senior Policy Analyst leads the development and implementation of operational frameworks and processes required to establish and support the SDO's core functions as the operational arm of the Compassionate Intervention (CI) program. Operating in a complex, time-sensitive, and evolving policy environment, this role plays a critical part in translating legislative and policy direction into effective operational practices.

Initially, the Senior Policy Analyst will lead the development of the SDO's operational foundation, including operational policies, procedures, guidelines, service standards, workflows, reporting mechanisms and supporting tools. As the program evolves, the role will focus on continuously improving the operational framework, monitoring implementation, identifying opportunities for enhancement, and preparing strategic briefing materials, including briefing notes, reports, presentations, and recommendations for senior leadership. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker and skilled problem solver who is energized by building new systems and processes. They are comfortable operating in a dynamic environment, balancing competing priorities, and working collaboratively with partners across government, healthcare, community organizations, and law enforcement.

This is a unique opportunity for a passionate, innovative, and forward-thinking professional to help shape the operational foundation of a first-of-its-kind program in Canada with the potential to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of Albertans.

Key responsibilities include:

Leading the development of SDO’s operational frameworks, including operational policies, guidelines, manuals and service standards, and strategic options aligned with Government of Alberta (GoA) standards, processes, and priorities.
Leading the development, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of SDO’s performance measurement framework, including key performance indicators and reporting functionalities and platforms.
Supporting the day‑to‑day operations of the SDO, including responses to action requests, corporate reporting requirements, and management of assigned contracts or grants.
Leading research, environmental scanning, and analysis to inform CI operational policies, guidelines and processes, as well as related mental health legislation and policies.
Identifying emerging trends, policy issues, risks, and leading practices across jurisdictions to support evidence‑based advice and recommendations.
Preparing and contributing to senior leadership materials, including briefing notes, policy options papers, Cabinet packages, presentations, and speaking notes.
Coordinating and supporting strategic engagement with internal and external stakeholders, including Indigenous communities and organizations, police services, service delivery partners, regulatory bodies, and people in pursuit of recovery.
Representing the SDO and the Ministry on cross‑ministry committees, working groups, and initiatives to foster collaboration and alignment.
Providing expert, timely advice on complex, sensitive, and high‑impact issues affecting Alberta’s mental health and addiction system.
