Do you like working in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment that values service excellence? Are you looking for the chance to make your mark in a small organization that plays a big role in providing justice to Canadians?

The Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada (ATSSC) is a group of committed public servants providing support services to 12 administrative tribunals.

Why choose the ATSSC?

• Work in a great location in downtown Ottawa, close to parking and public transit. However, due to COVID 19, we are currently working in the comfort of our homes.

• Experience the benefits of working in a small federal organization:

o Broaden your experience by working on a variety of files
o Quick team integration
o Direct access to responsive, on-site internal services (e.g., compensation advisors, IT troubleshooting)
o Connect daily with different teams and levels of management

• Benefit from a flatter organizational structure - you will have more time with senior management providing you with a greater opportunity to understand our business as a whole and to see your contributions in action.

• Grow in an organization that is strongly committed to providing a supportive work environment and healthy life-work balance!

JOIN THE ATSSC HEALTH AND SAFETY TEAM!

Many challenges await the team in 2020/2021! Whether it is the establishment of the Hazard Prevention Program, the implementation of the Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations, the easing of workplace related restrictions or simply the day-to-day management of Occupational Health and Safety operations, the incumbent will get the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting and exciting files!
