Communicate effectively with employers, donors, and third-party administrators (TPAs).
Demonstrate strong performance in the part-time role to be considered for an eventual full-time position.
Qualifications
Certification preferred: Priority will be given to candidates who already hold valid certification as a Certified DOT Specimen Collector (CDSC) and a Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT) from a recognized Canadian provider like the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC).
Willingness to train: For the right candidate, we are willing to provide and cover the cost of comprehensive training and certification.
Transferable skills encouraged: We welcome applications from individuals with transferable skills from roles such as Personal Support Workers (PSWs), caregivers, or other service positions.
Relevant skills include:
Strong attention to detail
