Atira Women's Resource Society is an award-winning nonprofit organization known for its inclusionary hiring practices and where a job is more than a pay cheque.

The PEACE coordinator ensures day-to-day delivery of the program is run in a professional and efficient manner with attention to confidentiality and in compliance with Atira Women’s Resource Society's (The Society's) policies and philosophy. The coordinator provides non-judgmental, feminist-based support, advocacy and information to women and their children who access the P.E.A.C.E. program and maintains strong working relationships with and awareness of complementary agencies and groups in the community. The coordinator must have specific knowledge regarding available community resources, private and government.

**About You**:
You question actions inconsistent with our values and you treat everyone with fairness and respect independent of their status or disagreement with you. You expect great things from yourself and your co-workers. You inspire others with your passion for women’s anti-violence work and your eagerness for excellence. You contribute to an environment where women can flourish and grow and you seek what is best for women, rather than what’s best for you or your team. You challenge the status quo to improve quality and sustainability and you take smart risks and make tough decisions without agonizing.
