Original job description

The Program

At Taproot Community Support Services, we’re a 100 percent employee-owned organization through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). Every employee is an owner from their first day, with a voice in shaping Taproot’s future and the opportunity to share in employee ownership dividends.

As a Certified B Corporation, we harness business for good. Since 1983 we’ve grown steadily, now delivering support across Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario through more than 90 contracts.

Our 800-plus employee-owners live by five shared values: we are stronger together, we lead with optimism, we embrace challenges, we respect every voice, and we go above and beyond. Guided by these principles, we deliver more than 125 community-based services each year. We walk alongside about 1,600 children, youth, families, and people with diverse abilities, with revenues exceeding $70 million.

This position provides administrative support across Taproot's youth and adult programs throughout Vancouver Island. Working collaboratively with leaders, managers, and frontline teams, the Administrative Assistant helps ensure efficient operations, effective communication, and high-quality administrative processes that support the delivery of person-centred services.

You'll keep operations running smoothly by supporting administration, coordinating caregiver onboarding, maintaining documentation, and ensuring compliance with MCFD and accreditation standards.

This position supports programs across Vancouver Island and offers a hybrid work environment. Occasional travel to our Port Alberni office is required. As this role provides direct support to programs throughout the region, applicants must be based on Vancouver Island.

Scheduling

One (1) permanent, full-time position with a schedule of 40 hours per week:

Monday through Friday, 0830-1630

Ensure caregiver records meet MCFD and CLBC requirements.
Support managers with administrative tasks, including preparing funding proposals and obtaining contractor quotes for facility repairs, maintenance, and other duties as required.
Prior to confirmation of employment, all applicants must provide a copy of a current Criminal Record Check and/or Government Screening Letter. These checks vary depending on province and sector and will be communicated by the Program Hiring Team.

As An Ideal Candidate You Possess

Post-secondary education in Business Administration, Office Administration, Social Services, or a related field (preferred).
Two or more years of administrative experience.
Experience with onboarding, HR, or contract administration is an asset.
Knowledge of MCFD processes and/or the social services sector is strongly preferred.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
Excellent organization, communication, and attention to detail.
Ability to handle confidential information with professionalism.
