HGSCP is looking for a full-time Transition House Director to join our team in Masset, BC. This is a 35-hour-per-week position, generally working Monday to Friday, with rotating weekend on-call coverage for emergencies.

Please note: This is a confirmed upcoming vacancy, with the full-time position beginning 1 January 2027. There may also be an opportunity for the successful candidate to complete part-time orientation and cross-training in November and December 2026, with some training available virtually. We are beginning the search early so candidates relocating to Haida Gwaii have plenty of time to plan their move and settle into the community.

Reporting to the Executive Director, you will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Transition House, ensuring services are delivered safely, confidentially, and in accordance with the organization’s policies, ethics, philosophy, and contractual obligations.

In this position, you will be primarily responsible for leading the Transition House Support Worker team and overseeing programs that provide safe shelter and support for women experiencing gender-based violence, homelessness, and substance use concerns. This includes the Supportive Recovery program, which provides moderate-level residential support for women preparing to enter substance use treatment or returning to the community following treatment.

Specifically, your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Managing, guiding, and evaluating the Transition House Support Worker team to ensure services meet clients’ needs
Recruiting, training, mentoring, and completing performance reviews for program staff
Managing labour relations matters and ensuring staff scheduling aligns with the BCGEU General Services Collective Agreement
Participating in rotating weekend on-call coverage and responding to urgent staff or client emergencies as required
Overseeing client-centred program delivery in accordance with agency policies, legal requirements, service agreements, and budgets
Collaborating with internal teams and external service providers on client goals, service plans, referrals, and integrated case management
Reviewing incident reports, maintaining accurate and confidential program records, and submitting required statistics and reports
Overseeing the safety, maintenance, security, inventory, and general operation of the residence
Working with the Executive Director to establish program standards, assess service effectiveness, and support long-term planning

About You

To qualify, you will have 3+ years of direct program delivery experience in social services or a related sector, along with previous supervisory, leadership, or program management experience. You will also bring relevant education, training, or an equivalent combination of experience in the human or social services field.

We welcome candidates from a range of backgrounds and recognize that relevant experience can be gained in many different ways. HGSCP is particularly interested in applicants who understand the realities of working in a small, remote community and who bring strong local knowledge, transferable leadership experience, or a willingness to grow into parts of the role.

In addition, background or skill in the following will be considered highly-valued assets:

Experience supporting survivors of gender-based violence, trauma, homelessness, substance use, or addictions
Frontline social services, outreach, supportive recovery, or case management experience
Experience supervising staff, providing feedback, and managing performance
Experience working in a unionized environment or with collective agreements
Familiarity with community programs, provincial services, and referral networks
Experience with non-profit, women’s services, or children and family programs
Strong planning, organization, time management, and digital skills
Understanding of trauma-informed, client-centred, and feminist approaches
Experience working with First Nations, Indigenous communities, or remote communities

As our ideal candidate, you are compassionate, patient, and flexible, with strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills. You handle confidential information with professionalism, remain calm in unpredictable situations, and communicate clearly and respectfully with residents, staff, and community partners. You are also organized, grounded, and able to maintain healthy boundaries while supporting your team through challenging situations.

You are excited to become part of the Haida Gwaii community and bring a genuine commitment to helping residents move toward greater safety, stability, and independence. This is a meaningful leadership opportunity for someone who can balance compassion with accountability while building trusted relationships across the community.

About the Benefits

As a valued member of the team, you will receive a competitive compensation package including:

$41.25 per hour for any orientation or training completed before 1 January 2027, increasing to $42.49 per hour when the full-time position begins
A 35-hour workweek, generally Monday to Friday
Extended health and dental benefits, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, and long-term disability coverage
Municipal Pension Plan
Wellness Hours Bank and optional flex banked hours
Paid vacation, sick time, and statutory holidays
Relocation assistance for successful candidates moving to Haida Gwaii, in accordance with HGSCP policy
The opportunity to live and work in one of Canada’s most stunning communities
A meaningful leadership role where your work will have a lasting impact on residents and the wider community

By joining the HGSCP team, you can have a rewarding and exciting leadership role with immense impact. Best of all, all of your hard work and dedication will serve the good of our community.
