Expectations
Our organization has a progressive workplace culture that provides flexibility and makes staff well-being a priority, while balancing these with accomplishing the mission of the organization and holding ourselves accountable for our areas of responsibility.
We seek employees who would align with our values:
Be Impeccable With Your Word. (i.e. We are all part of a team and we rely on each other. Only commit to tasks and deadlines you can complete. Communicate well in advance if you won’t be able to complete a task.).
Don't Take Anything Personally. (i.e. Don’t take things personally - people often have other things going on in their lives. If you fail at a task, instead of getting mad at others, learn from your mistakes).
Don't Make Assumptions. (i.e. Believe in the best intentions of others. Things like judgment and suspicion only create toxic environments, hurt people and we don’t grow or learn.)
Always Do Your Best. (i.e. You are persistent. You will find a way to get it done and done well, even if that means asking for help.)
Collaboration is the key to success. Our team works together to achieve great things!
What it is like working with us:
We have a positive work environment, with many opportunities for community and recreation with others in the organization (both formal and informal). We encourage you to participate in social activities.
You are expected to represent the organization in a positive, professional manner and act and speak in a positive way about our team, our work, our guests and the organization as a whole.
Questions for you to consider:
Availability during weekdays is preferred. Does this work with your schedule?
If you’re taking vacation, taking summer courses or working another job, please communicate this. This is important to know, as we have to factor in both external and internal organizational deadlines, both during the hiring process, and if you are hired, when scheduling, setting priorities and deadlines.
A job with us is for you if…
Are extremely organized and able to manage multiple competing deadlines at once.
Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills that you utilize in communicating with our team and others.
Have demonstrable experience in the areas required for the position.
Possess the following traits:
Collaborative - excited to work with our multifaceted and growing team. You are willing to bounce ideas off of others and work together towards a shared goal.
Humble and Eager to Learn - Sometimes ideas or opinions fall flat. You are comfortable with being wrong, and are excited to learn how to improve throughout your career.
Creative - you understand the big picture and will look for unique ways to reach our goals. You work outside of the box to find solutions to everyday problems.
