- Significant experience with electronic calendar management
- Organizational, time-management and support skills, including an ability to manage conflicting workloads, determine priorities and accept personal responsibility for the completion of tasks
- Ability to exercise discretion and demonstrate effective judgment and decision-making skills
- Strong communication skills — verbal and written, including the ability to proofread and edit
- Ability to work well under pressure, maintaining tact and courtesy, and with little supervision
- Professional demeanour and an ability to think proactively
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- Enthusiastic team player

**Assets**

CCSA is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our work. As an organization, we are committed to ensuring that First Nations, Métis and Inuit people and all equity-deserving groups are fully represented, including women, people of colour, people with disabilities, and people who are 2SLGBTQ+.

Preference will be given to Indigenous applicants who demonstrate a strong connection to community with a commitment to advancing Indigenous health priorities.
