Administrative Support IV - EADC Administration
Your Opportunity:
Safe Healthy Environments has an opportunity for a skilled administrative support professional to join the provincial Environmentally Acquired Disease Control (EADC) Program in an Administrative Support IV role. The EADC Program supports responses to public health threats including notifiable disease, animal exposures, suspected foodborne illness, and outbreak investigations. You'll be at the front door for action—monitoring and triaging a shared program mailbox, applying established protocols to identify urgency, requesting clarification to address information gaps, and routing notifications to the appropriate public health professional promptly. You’ll track items end-to-end so nothing is missed, support timely follow-up, and maintain accurate logs that help the program stay coordinated and accountable. Experience with EPHIS, Connect Care, and CDOM is essential. Collaboration is central to this position. You’ll work closely with public health inspectors, clinical and medical partners, analysts, program leads, and administrative colleagues to ensure smooth hand-offs, shared coverage, and consistent intake practices. If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, use sound judgment under pressure, and take pride in clear communication, confidentiality, and follow-through, this is a chance to help protect communities—every day. This is a 1.0 FTE permanent position; location can be negotiated within the province based on operational requirements. Please note the scheduled days of work for this position is Thursday to Monday, inclusive.
