Osteoporosis Canada (OC), a registered charity, is the only national organization serving people who have, or are at risk for, osteoporosis. OC works to educate, empower and support individuals and communities in the treatment of osteoporosis and fracture risk reduction strategies.
Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) is a model of post-fracture care that ensures that fracture patients receive the osteoporosis care they need. OC is committed to improving the osteoporosis care received by fracture patients. This position will assist in the administration of a program at OC that helps promote implementation of FLS across Canada.
Job Summary:
The Program Administrator reports to the Senior FLS Team consisting of the Chief Scientific Officer (CSO), FLS and the Government Relations Officer (GRO), FLS). The Program Administrator provides the administrative, operational and tactical support for the strategic vision and objectives of the Senior FLS Team, who are both volunteers.
The responsibilities will be diverse and will include but not limited to administrative support for the Senior FLS Team, managing projects and delivering on objectives as set by the Senior FLS Team, drafting documents, coordinating meetings, taking minutes, helping develop and monitor budgets and expenses, developing website content and monitoring and updating the FLS website subdirectory. The role requires working with external and internal stakeholders, the latter consisting mostly of volunteers.
Although the work will be national in scope, the position will be based in the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia. Flexibility will be required on availability to attend meetings/calls that accommodate time zones of the FLS volunteers across Canada. Travel within Canada may be required to support FLS events, but this will be infrequent and would be planned well in advance.
