Job Description

Join Us at Carey Theological College -- A Place of Renewal, Rigor, and Conviction

Situated on the beautiful UBC campus in Vancouver, where Carey has served students and churches for over six decades, Carey Theological College is undergoing an ambitious transformation. This is not a traditional institutional posting--it's a call to help rebuild something that matters. Carey is repositioning itself with the boldness of a startup, but the foundation of a historic, Protestant evangelical tradition. We are re-establishing our identity around theological clarity, classical formation, and the unchanging truths of Scripture.


We are looking for those who are battle-tested--both spiritually and professionally. People who will not drift, who lead with conviction, and who are energized by the hard, often unseen work of rebuilding systems, culture, and mission. This is a role for builders, not maintainers. For those who want to leave behind institutional drift and help shape a place where truth is not only taught--but embodied.


Roles at Carey are not static. They are designed to grow and evolve as the College itself is renewed. If you're ready to embrace complexity, bring order to chaos, and serve something larger than yourself, then we invite you to consider joining us.
