• Knowledge of IFHP and MSP insurance coverage;
• Extensive knowledge of health systems and refugee-focused programs in the Lower Mainland;
• Demonstrated ability for active listening, and building trust with all stakeholders;
• Demonstrated ability to advocate for clients' needs and resources internally and externally;

• Proficient understanding of diverse cultural and traditional health practices and beliefs, facilitating culturally sensitive and responsive care delivery;
• Demonstrated experience delivering trauma-informed and culturally competent care, including provisions for language access and interpreter services to ensure effective communication with diverse refugee populations.
