Intent of the process

Join a fast-growing organization that makes a real difference in the health of Canadians!

Through a single application you’ll open the door to opportunities in not one, but two world-class organizations: Health Canada (HC) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). This collective staffing process will be used to fill multiple positions at the CR-04 (clerical and regulatory, level 4) classification in various branches of HC and PHAC.

CR-04 employees provide clerical support to many programs and internal services across the department and agency. You could be managing the calendar and email of supervisors, planning logistics for meetings and conferences, organizing and maintaining paper or electronic files, helping facilitate HR, IT, or travel processes, or maintaining budgets and helping complete financial reports. The quality clerical support provided by our CRs is what enables us to promote, protect, and improve the health of Canadians!

Our intent is to complete the assessment process as quickly as possible. We are committed to maintaining a close relationship and timely communication with you throughout the process. Therefore, we ask all applicants to check their e-mail and GCJobs accounts regularly.
