About Family Caregivers of BC

Family Caregivers of British Columbia (FCBC) is a registered charity dedicated 100% to supporting family and friend caregivers through support, information and education. We provide leadership to strengthen the voice of family caregivers and the significance of their role provincially and nationally. In BC, there are over 1.4 million caregivers giving care and support for a family member or friend with chronic disease, disability or frailty due to aging; our vision is that they are seen, supported and included as partners in care. We believe deeply that our ability to fully serve all family caregivers rests on having a welcoming, inclusive, and diverse team who recognizes, appreciates, and respects individual differences. We build on each person's strengths and talents and embrace strategic collaboration to reach our goals.

Position Description

The Caregiver Support Lead provides day-to-day leadership for the Caregiver Support Pillar, offering strong supervisory and mentoring skills to support staff in their roles responding to the BC Caregiver Support Line, offering 1-1 and wrap-around support through social prescribing, making internal referrals to our coaching and education programs and external community programs, co-creating actions plans and building networks of support.

Peer support models are a key component of the Caregiver Support Pillar, and the Lead will support the recruitment, training and supervision of volunteers for group facilitation. Embracing a collaborative, shared leadership approach, the Lead will work closely with colleagues in other programs to plan and deliver a variety of presentations, trainings and co-create resources.

Reporting to, and working closely with, the Director of Programs and Innovation, the Lead will create and implement program work plans, monitor and report on program progress and provide ongoing supervision to inspire, guide, and motivate the team, ensuring a positive and goal-oriented work environment. Our operations are highly networked, requiring the Lead to function effectively in a tech-enabled, virtual environment with multiple platforms.

The position is hybrid, allowing for flexibility in work location, hours and promoting peak performance, while designed to offer optimum supervision in person at our Victoria home office and to deliver services in the community.
