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.

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.

Yukon government cares about their employees and strives to offer a variety of learning and developmental opportunities including in-house training. Funding may also be available to support further education.

Flexible work and leave options may be available allowing you to balance your personal and professional needs.

We also have a comprehensive and generous benefits plan, providing for the health and wellbeing of you and your family.
