Job Summary and Requirements

This is for a term anticipatory perm, working 75 hours bi-weekly.

Yukon government’s vision is an engaged and diverse public service that embraces innovation to deliver positive outcomes for Yukoners.

Who we are…

At the Government of Yukon, our vision is to create an engaged and diverse public service that embraces innovation to deliver positive outcomes for Yukoners – this vision is close to our hearts in the Public Service Commission. We are passionate about our people, and we strive to build a workplace that’s inclusive, respectful and continuously improving. We do this through maintaining internal HR systems, policies and collective agreements and providing human resources advice and support to departments and employees.

The opportunity…

Yukon government departments, corporations and the unions have worked in partnership to develop and implement a corporate disability management program that encompasses early identification and referral to YG disability management services, processes and training for managing employees with disabilities and meeting their accommodation needs, and tracking and monitoring processes for continuous quality improvement. Our guiding principles to achieve this include: dignity, individuality, participation, confidentiality and good faith.

As part of a central team, you will lead case management services to fulfill Yukon government’s legal duty as an employer to accommodate employees with injuries, illness or disabilities. You will work directly with employees, HR and union representatives, labour relations partners and supervisors to collect information, make recommendations, support interventions and give advice. You will bring a solid subject matter foundation in a field such as health, labour relations or human resources.

Being successful in this role requires judgement to apply legal requirements and principles to individual circumstances. This role works within parameters set by human rights legislation, collective agreements, Yukon government’s Disability Management and Accommodation policy and guidelines.

Experience the benefits of a career with Yukon government…
