Work environment

Are you a person who is seeks to enter in the area of Human Resources (PE) or are you a Policy or Program Analyst looking for a new challenge?

The Courts Administration Service (CAS) is seeking an Human Resources (HR) Advisor in its Policies and Programs Group to work with a team of enthusiastic, fun loving and driven individuals who thrive on change and new challenges.

Whether you’ve gathered your experience in policy writing, program management or another area related to HR, the area you currently work in is not what matters most. We are looking for an autonomous individual who can see beyond his/her discipline and develop innovative solutions and options to clients.

One portion of the work consists of connecting with managers and employees building awareness of the programs we support through information and training sessions. The other part revolves around research, analysis and policy/guideline development.

You might be our ideal candidate if you enjoy connecting with employees, managers and other stakeholders. Research, analysis and developing written communications products will make up a good portion of the work: we are seeking a skilled communicator who can think strategically and make connections. We need a dreamer and someone with an imagination to find new and interesting ways to reach our workforce. Finally, we need a creative individual: someone who engages others and who is agile in his/her way of thinking and doing.

Contact us please if what we’ve written above lights your fire.
