A safe, healthy, and inclusive community for all.

Is John Howard Society of Okanagan & Kootenay Right for You?

Have you had moments where you’ve wanted to give up on the human race because you can’t face another trivial conversation about Keto? Do you have a keen sense of social injustice to the point that your friends have suggested you channel that outrage somewhere besides Facebook? Have you ever been called “delusional with your utopian vision for a better community” and taken it as a compliment? Well consider a career at John Howard. There is something honest, raw, and real about our work and the people we serve. Stripped of pretenses and the banality of corporate profits, the work of John Howard is all about meaningful human connection and a drive to make the world a better place for everyone.

Our opportunities range from Casual to Part-time to Full-time with opportunity to learn new skills and advance in the organization. It’s work with great people passionate about a common goal: housing, justice, and inclusion for all.

We care about our community, and we care about our team. Some of our perks include: comprehensive benefits package and RRSP matching program, fair and transparent hiring and compensation policies, opportunities for growth and training, and generous paid time off policy.

We offer a variety of work settings where you can make a difference –shelter, supportive housing, community inclusion, outreach, and justice – where every day is different EVERY.SINGLE.DAY! And…. If somewhere along the way you got so “woke” to the real reasons why some people are homeless and the injustices of the criminal justice system thatit’s keeping you up at night, then consider a night shift at John Howard – we’re woke all night too.
