INTERIM RESOURCE MANAGER (FULL-TIME)

Location: East Kelowna
In your experience supporting people with diverse abilities, you see the people you support like family. That closeness and sharing that develops with a loving heart, where it is not always obvious who is helping whom anymore. You are yearning for a new role where your organizational and leadership abilities can shine. And where you can shape a workplace that overflows with grace and respect.
At Bethesda, we are about creating community among the people we support, our staff and our surrounding communities. We are all interdependent as we experience life together and all valuable for the abilities we share. We know we learn from and need each other.
Do you have a heart for this vision and the skill to step into a new and challenging role? The interim resource manager position may be the next step in your journey.
