In accordance with the Vision, Purpose, and Values, and strategic direction of the Vancouver Island Health Authority (Island Health), patient and staff safety is a priority and a responsibility shared by everyone; as such, the requirement to continuously improve quality and safety is inherent in all aspects of this position. Before Canada and BC were formed, Indigenous peoples lived in balance and interconnectedness with the land and water in which the necessities of life are provided. Island Health acknowledges and recognizes these homelands and the stewardship of Indigenous peoples of this land; it is with humility we continue to work toward building our relationship.

Reporting to the Leader, Brand, Digital Engagement & Innovation or the Leader, Community Health Resources Community Resource Team, the Communication Designer is accountable for developing, planning, prototyping, and implementing designs for corporate communications tailored to public, staff, medical staff and other stakeholder experiences throughout Island Health.

The position is ideal for a user-centered communication designer who can leverage their design theory, critical thinking and technical skills with their experience in print, product, digital and interactive projects to transform health design across a range of visual, informational, and service-oriented design solutions.

To nourish the tangible and intangible elements of Island Health\'s brand, design sprints can include an information design poster for a public health campaign, form design enhancements for physician referrals, a suite of visual identity products for an online store, motion graphics for an internal health promotion campaign, wireframes for a recruiting website initiative, patient persona development for clinical trials, leading a design thinking workshop for colleagues and patient advisors, and co-designing a service journey map with departments and First Nations patient partners.

The designer should be problem-oriented and future focused, curious and user-centred, collaborative and adaptable, courageous and aspirational.
