Join the SD72 Team! Campbell River is a scenic, oceanfront community framed by extensive waterfront, west coast forests and snow-capped mountains. The area is renowned for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities such as skiing, kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, golf, and endless opportunities to experience nature. The moderate climate allows residents to participate in numerous outdoor activities on a year-round basis.
 
We are looking for a skilled and experienced Human Resources Professional to join our team. The successful incumbent will deliver HR leadership that is grounded in district goals, and in support of all district departments and schools.
 
School District 72 Campbell River is located on the east coast of central Vancouver Island, extending north to Sayward and south to Oyster River.

We also respect and value the relationships with the Homalco First Nations, all other First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples who reside in these territories. This land has always been a place of learning and we are thankful to live, work, learn and play here. It is with respectful consideration that the programs and services provided to students and staff acknowledge their histories, cultural contributions, and contemporary concerns. The HR Officer must demonstrate a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, with an emphasis on a commitment to continual learning and understanding Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
