- remaining current on available housing stock
- promoting the off-campus housing service and maintaining the web site

- building external stakeholder relationships with the City of Nanaimo, neighbourhood communities, local developers, and non-governmental organizations to name a few
- keeping abreast of the BC Residential Tenancy Act and FIPPA legislation
- tracking relevant data for reporting purposes including student enquiries and student needs
- making recommendations to the Director on how to improve students' off-campus housing experience
- connecting with sector colleagues in the off-campus housing arena at the local, provincial, and national levels

**Required Qualifications**:
Bachelor's degree from an accredited university with a minimum of three years' related experience in a multicultural environment, demonstrating the ability to understand and empathize with people of many cultures. Minimum two years' related experience with, for example, residence life leadership or university-based housing initiatives, in a post-secondary setting with exposure to student life perspective. A combination of education and experience may be considered
- strong understanding of the post-secondary environment and the student experience
- excellent written and oral English is essential, as is the capacity to communicate in any modality with people having little English language ability
- professional manner, tact, diplomacy and discretion in dealing with colleagues and the public
- demonstrated strengths in interpersonal skills and cross-cultural sensitivity
- working understanding of the BC Residential Tenancy Act
- training related to landlord, tenant, or off-campus housing support, such as Renting-it-Right, Landlord BC Training, or equivalent
- familiarity with privacy legislation (FIPPA)
- strengths in the facilitation and presentation of workshops and information sessions
- demonstrated ability to implement change to improve the student experience
- ability to work independently and with a team
- excellent organizational skills
- superior problem solving
- effective analytical and research skills balanced with innovative thinking
- proficiency in the MS Office suite of programs, particularly in Outlook, Word, MS Teams and other on-line communication tools

Given the nature of the role, the incumbent will have assigned hours outside the Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm work week, including evenings and some weekends.

**Preferred Qualifications**:

- proficiency in a language other than English
- knowledge of the City of Nanaimo and housing resources
- experience living in other cultures for extended periods
- marketing and current social media skills
- VIU is pleased to offer eligible employees a comprehensive benefit plan; ample paid holiday time; professional development opportunities and a desirable pension plan.
