Job Description

The Peace Pregnancy Support Society is hiring!

About us

The Peace Pregnancy Support Society (PPSS) is a Christian, faith-based, registered charitable organization which oversees the Peace Pregnancy Support Centre (PPSC). At the PPSC, we envision a community where all those facing an unplanned, challenging, or lost pregnancy can find hope and healing. Our Centre ministers to individuals and families impacted by unexpected pregnancy and its effects regardless of their religious beliefs, lifestyle, gender identification, sexual orientation, or any other arbitrary circumstance. We strive to make our Centre a safe place that offers compassionate support and accurate, up to date information on all pregnancy options, sexual health, and post abortion care. We follow a respectful, client-led, permission-based approach, providing safe, loving, and compassionate emotional & spiritual support along with practical assistance, empowering clients to have choice and control over their lives.
Services through the PPSC are free of charge. Our resources come from churches, groups, and individuals who support our vision. Pregnancy Care Canada (PCC) is our umbrella organization, which serves to provide and uphold our high standard of training and care. Our relationship with PCC allows us to receive Canadian resources, training, support, and encouragement as we build this ministry.

We strive to develop a strong, ministry focused team willing to serve its community in an empathetic, confident, and effectual way.

Job Opening

We're currently offering a permanent Office Manager (OM) part-time position.

The Office Manager (OM) permanent part time position

is responsible to provide general office management, reception, administration, and assistance to the Executive Director (ED), and other staff or volunteers as necessary. The OM welcomes and provides initial intake with clients; performing reception tasks, assisting the ED with client care where needed, ensuring the client feels welcomed and reassured by a professional and respectful greeting by phone or in person. The OM may also be recruited to assist in researching and arranging client care programs. While the Office Manager (OM) and ED tasks may overlap at times, the OM is under the ED's supervision. The successful individual will be provided training and orientation through Pregnancy Care Canada (PCC).

Our work environment includes:

Peaceful, relaxed yet professional atmosphere
Growth opportunities
Occasional Weekend availability
Flexible working hours
Business mileage reimbursement
Strong board support / collegial team atmosphere

This position is hybrid remote

in that while most hours will be at the Centre, there are times where you'll be working off-site within the community, and occasional opportunities to work from home if conditions require it. Our Centre seeks to run a 24-hour hotline, but the goal is to have a variety of both paid and volunteer positions to cover; establishing full coverage with volunteers is one of the staff responsibilities.

Requirements

Must have a strong personal relationship with Jesus Christ and demonstrate a lifestyle lived accordingly
Agree with all PPSS Core Documents, P&Ps, and Statement of Faith along with the PCC Core Documents (available upon request)
A passion for life?affirming ministry
A commitment to a nonjudgmental, compassionate manner of relating to others
Strong interpersonal and leadership skills

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) or LivingWorks Start, and Mental Health First Aid Training are assets.
Experience in working with diverse populations is beneficial

A complete list of requirements and responsibilities specific to this role is available upon request.

Remuneration

Salary is commensurate with education and experience. This is a permanent, part-time position. Onboarding training is included with a signed, annually renewable contract. Contract length includes onboarding training time. Starting hours will vary but are a minimum of 10 hours per week. There is the potential to go full-time in the future as the Centre grows. (This is very plausible - our first director built our Centre up to full-time work prior to her unfortunate demise during Covid). While staff have a lot of flexibility regarding regular scheduling, they must be amendable to adjusting times to be available to clients, and for the occasional fundraiser. Due to the nature of the ministry and its location, hours usually include mainly daytime, but occasional evenings and / or weekends.

Why should you apply?
