1 month ago
Position Overview
The Director of Human Rights and Conflict Resolution is a pivotal role within a newly established division, reporting directly to the Executive Director of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). This position is responsible for the development, leadership, and management of Loyalist College's Human Rights and Conflict Support services, ensuring alignment with institutional policies, the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC), and other pertinent legislation.
The Director serves as the primary contact for all issues related to OHRC protected grounds. This role encompasses the creation and execution of restorative justice strategies and the resolution of informal grievances. Additionally, the Director is tasked with tracking and reporting all human rights-related incidents while providing coaching and support to various departments and leadership teams regarding human rights and conflict resolution.
The ideal candidate will approach their work with an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and trauma-informed perspective. A deep understanding of human rights issues, including but not limited to creed, race, gender identity, sex, family status, and disability, is essential, along with substantial experience in providing guidance on complex, competing grounds.
The EDI Division at Loyalist College is dedicated to fostering a culture that reflects the institution's core values of care, creativity, inclusivity, accountability, and engagement. This division aims to prioritize safety and trust, promoting honesty, dignity, and fairness in all interactions.

- Design and implement programs, initiatives, and campaigns to foster a culture of respect and awareness regarding human rights at Loyalist.

- Recruit, train, and manage student staff and other personnel as needed, focusing on sustainable succession and inclusive hiring practices.
- Collect and analyze data related to human rights complaints and consultations, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations.
- Lead the development and delivery of human rights training and professional development programs.

- Provide informed advice based on knowledge of relevant case law, policies, and practices at comparable institutions.
- Advise on strategies that promote substantive equality in alignment with AODA, OHRC, and Occupational Health and Safety regulations.
Qualifications
- A Master's degree in education, law, equity, social sciences, social work, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Certification in alternative dispute resolution, anti-racism, anti-oppressive practices, and familiarity with Indigenous knowledge systems is preferred.
- A minimum of five years of relevant experience in a human rights context, ideally within post-secondary education, with a focus on supporting marginalized communities.
