Be Part of the Change that You Want to See in the World

At CWAVS, we believe in transparency, knowledge, and balance. Employees are an indispensable part of the organization’s operations; without a long-term team, clients and programs suffer. We believe in a positive, equitable work environment that is flexible, but we also value experience, education and certification by professional associations in our hiring to ensure our clients receive the most informed care.

CWAVS is a charity, which means staffing levels are determined by funding. New positions are determined by grant-based funding as well as operational needs. When positions become available, CWAV Society gives priority to qualified internal applicants. When a posting is open to external applicants, it will be posted on our website as well as our LinkedIn page, and appropriate advertising channels. We do not keep unsolicited resumes on file. So, if your application for a position is unsuccessful, please apply again in the future.

The Society adheres to fair hiring practices and relevant legislation. We are an equal opportunity employer and encourage individuals with diverse backgrounds and abilities to apply for positions at all levels of employment, including but not limited to:

Management, Administration, Leadership, Counselling, and our Front Line.

We can’t wait to meet you.
