Classification: Senior Manager Zone 1 (SM1)

Ministry: Office of the Child & Youth Advocate

Location: Edmonton

Full or Part-time: Full-time

Hours of Work: 36.25 hours per week

**About Us**:
The Office of the Child and Youth Advocate (OCYA) is an Office of the Legislature. Our Office provides advocacy for young people receiving or seeking to receive services under the _Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act_, the _Protection of Sexually Exploited Children Act_, and to youth involved with the youth justice system. The OCYA is also responsible for providing legal representation for young people in matters related to the _Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act_ and the _Protection of Sexually Exploited Children Act_. The OCYA conducts investigations and reports on issues arising from the serious injury to or death of a young person. The OCYA engages stakeholders in understanding the importance of respecting young people’s individual and collective rights, interests, and viewpoints, as well as delivers public education.

The impact of colonialization continues to adversely affect Indigenous young people, their families, and their communities. Intergenerational trauma, systemic racism, and the legacy of residential schools are experienced by many Indigenous young people, who continue to be overrepresented in the child intervention system. The OCYA is deeply committed to reconciliation and a diverse and inclusive public service that reflects the population we serve to best meet the needs of Albertans. We are committed to a workplace that welcomes, respects and values the diversity of our employees. We also support them to be actively engaged in the workplace and the work we do to meet the needs of Alberta's young people.

**Role**:
The Director of Human Resources is responsible for managing the planning, development and delivery of human resource programs, policies and practices for the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate (OCYA). This includes direction setting and managing the delivery of direct and indirect human resource services i.e., organizational effectiveness, staffing and workforce planning, classification, compensation, learning and development, employee relations, occupational health, safety and wellness etc.

This position provides leadership and advice to all OCYA staff, manages sensitive or high impact organizational human resource issues, and plays a key role in supporting the Executive Director, Strategic Support in all areas of Human Resources. This is a multi-faceted position requiring excellent interpersonal and communication skills and organizational and problem-solving skills. The diversity of this role requires the ability to multi-task, set priorities and be adaptable to change using knowledge of the Public Service regulations and directives.

**Qualifications**:
Undergraduate degree in Commerce, Business Administration or Social Service with a specialization in human resource management, supplemented by at least six years of progressively responsible human resource experience.

Significant experience in providing advice to senior leaders in executive management positions, position classifications, employee relations and performance management is mandatory.

Significant and related management experience with proven strategic leadership in human resources coupled with an extensive background and experience in human resources management.

A professional designation in human resources would be considered an asset.

Knowledge of relevant employment legislation, regulations, policies applicable to the Alberta Public Service and working knowledge of the Government of Alberta HR systems (1GX etc.) would be considered an asset.

Given the overrepresentation of Indigenous young people in the child intervention and youth justice systems, preference will be given to individuals who self-identify and are known to others as Indigenous or who have had extensive experience working with Indigenous peoples and communities.

**Competencies**:

We encourage you to have an in depth understanding of the competencies that are required for this opportunity and to be prepared to demonstrate them during the recruitment process.
