WHO WE ARE
When it comes to health, we’re always looking for ways to push for better. It’s why we were founded in the first place. In 1957, our founder, pharmacist William Wilkinson, witnessed a mother sacrifice her health by forgoing her own medicine to pay for her sick daughter’s prescription. He knew there had to be a better way. So, he introduced North America’s first prepaid drug plan, and GreenShield was born as a not-for-profit with a mission to support better health for all Canadians.
We aren’t just a health and benefits company. We’re the only not-for-profit social enterprise that brings worlds of coverage and care together, all in one place.
We’re noble challengers, purposefully building a better way and we need the best people to help us create a more holistic approach that takes care of the mind and body.
Our mission is to create better health for all Canadians, and we know that starts with our employees.

Day in the Life (Realistic Preview)
This role is fast-paced and demanding. Calls come one after another, and many involve members who are frustrated, stressed, or navigating real health and financial concerns. You’ll need to stay focused, think clearly, and communicate with confidence; often while managing multiple systems and delivering answers in real time. There is pressure, and some days will feel heavy.
But this work matters. In those same moments, you’re often the person who brings clarity, reassurance, and real solutions when people need it most. If you can stay grounded under pressure and take ownership of each call, you’ll have a direct impact; helping people move forward with confidence during situations that genuinely affect their lives.
At GreenShield, we’re creating better health for all Canadians. As a Contact Centre Services Representative (Customer Service Representative), you play a vital role in delivering on that mission. You are often the first point of connection for members, providers, and clients—providing respectful, knowledgeable, and reliable service through phone, email, and chat channels.
This role operates within a high-volume, performance-focused contact centre where quality, accuracy, and empathy are equally important. You’ll work as part of a collaborative team supported by experienced leaders and clear performance expectations.
