**ABOUT THE VANCOUVER WOMEN’S HEALTH COLLECTIVE (VWHC)**

The VWHC is a grassroots non-profit that has proudly served our community since 1971. Our mission is to support all who self-identify as women and gender-diverse in fostering health, wellness, and equity through intersectional feminist approaches to advocacy, shared knowledge, and mínimal-barrier programs and services. We operate a drop-in resource centre in the Downtown Eastside, offering essential resources, community care, and accessible education. In partnership with practitioners and community allies, we provide Indigenous cultural support, trauma-informed yoga, naturopathic care, and a range of holistic programs designed to meet the diverse needs of the people we serve.

**THE OPPORTUNITY**

The VWHC is in a period of intentional renewal marked by system strengthening, strategic restructuring, and the restoration of sustainable leadership. Over the past six months, a volunteer Board of Directors has been actively stewarding core leadership and operational functions to ensure continuity and organizational stability. The collective is now entering its next phase, including the onboarding of a new Executive Director. The RDM will join a passionate and values-aligned team of four staff, along with numerous peers and volunteers who bring heart, integrity, and both lived and living expertise to the shared work. This is an opportunity to shape the future of a unique intersectional feminist collective that advocates for health justice on the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəyəm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaʔɬ / Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

**ABOUT THE ROLE**

The RDM requires a part-time, on-site presence at our Downtown Eastside resource centre. Every donation and partnership secured by the RDM enables programs that transform lives, dismantle systemic barriers, and foster a more equitable community.

Onboarding will include orientation to governance and operations, with training provided by relevant Board officers within their respective scopes. Given the Board’s volunteer structure and the RDM being a newly established position within the VWHC, sustained full-time shadowing is not possible, and the role is best suited to an experienced professional who can work with initiative and agency while engaging collaboratively with the Executive Director and Board. The VWHC offers a flexible and supportive work environment grounded in collective care, collaboration, and shared values.

**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**

Frontline interaction is part of working within the VWHC’s community-rooted environment and supports attunement to the lived and living realities of community members. Working in the Downtown Eastside requires being comfortable within a vibrant neighbourhood where complex trauma, substance use, acute and chronic mental and physical health challenges, mental and physical violence, poverty, and systemic oppression intersect alongside profound resilience, cultural strength, and community care. Within the RDM’s scope of practice and alongside fellow staff, the role requires upholding both safety and compassion, while demonstrating genuine respect for the unique expertise, agency, and lived and living realities of community members.
