SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 4:00 p.m. on Thursday February 15th

THE POSITION
This is a full-time position at 30 hours per week. The contract will last approximately 12 to 13 months, as a parental leave replacement for the permanent Coordinator. Because OPIRG Kingston works with students from Queen’s University, the job follows the cycles of university life – two busy four-month terms (Sept-Dec and Jan-Apr) and the slower spring and summer terms (May-Aug.) Work time allocated in each area of the Coordinator’s responsibilities will vary greatly depending on the time of year. The Coordinator will be a member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1281. The base wage is $17.99 per hour. Each unionized OPIRG staff person has health and dental benefits, pays into a long-term disability insurance plan, and receives an RRSP contribution annually (4% of gross wages.) The position starts beginning of May (somewhat flexible), with a 2 to 3 week paid training period and subject to a 6-month probationary period.
