Qualifications for Employment

GHS employees are members of the BCGEU.  As permanent, full-time positions become available they are posted internally.  Only if there is no suitable candidate from within GHS are external candidates considered.  This is in accordance with the Community Living Services Collective Agreement.  That is why the majority of our hiring is for casual/relief positions.  Becoming a casual staff first is the best way to obtain a permanent position.

We require all of our potential employees to have a relevant post-secondary qualification and/or extensive experience in the field before applying. Additionally, we require everyone to have a current first aid certificate (CPR-C), as well as a Class 5 Driver’s License.

If you are a successful candidate, you must provide a criminal record check from your local police department which has been issued within the past 3 months.
