On October 6, 2021, the Government of Canada announced details of its plans to require vaccination across the federal public service.

As per the new Policy on COVID-19 Vaccination for the Core Public Administration Including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, federal public servants in the Core Public Administration and members of the RCMP must attest to their vaccination status. The requirement for employees to be fully vaccinated applies whether they are teleworking, working remotely or working on-site. This is a condition of employment and it applies to indeterminate (permanent), determinate (term), casual, and student hiring. Should you reach the point in the selection process where it is necessary to verify terms and conditions of employment then the hiring manager or a human resources representative will contact you in order to complete an attestation.

Duties

As a manager, you lead on complex files that are multifaceted and sensitive, with impact across multiple organizations. This includes conducting research, holding consultations, and leading on the development of employer policy papers, presentations, and other related briefing materials for senior management. You supervise, coach, and mentor analysts, and collaborate extensively with other Policy Centers to advance people management in an integrated manner. You lead interdepartmental committees and working groups, representing the interests of Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS), and the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer.

This pool may be used to staff similar positions in other organizations within the core public administration (http://www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/plcy-pltq/rfli-lirf/index-eng.htm).
