PLEASE NOTE: In recognition of the critical importance to this role of a lived understanding of Indigenous communities, history, values, and ways of knowing, this competition is restricted to self-identified Indigenous applicants (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit). RCY commits to holding self-identification information confidentially – we hold this obligation with care and commitment. Your information will only be shared with the hiring panel, who commit to holding it in confidence and will not share your information unless it is needed for the hiring process (such as getting approval to extend a job offer).

The Representative for Children and Youth (RCY), an independent and non-partisan officer of the B.C. Legislature, works to influence positive change to B.C.’s child-, youth- and young adult-serving systems. Working under the authority of the Representative for Children and Youth Act and Regulations, the Representative’s Office provides advocacy support to people dealing with the service system and advocates directly on behalf of children, youth and young adults, monitors and reviews government services for children and youth and reviews and sometimes investigates deaths and critical injuries of children and youth who are receiving services.

We aspire to a legacy where children, youth, young adults and families served by the child and family serving systems receive timely, appropriate and compassionate support and services that they need, when they need it. We dream of a Province where all children and families thrive and where experiences of stigma, shame, judgment and racism have been eliminated.

Overview of Position

Reporting to a Manager within the Systemic Advocacy, First Nations, Métis and Inuit Research team, the Policy Analyst works in collaboration with other RCY program areas, subject matter experts and RCY partners, to examine legislation, regulations, policies, and standards of designated services and produce executive briefings, write public reports and mobilize resources for collective systemic action. Policy Analysts play an important role in catalyzing system-wide changes through relational and strategic work that reflects the rights and needs of children, youth, young adults, their families and communities in British Columbia as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights on the Child (UNCRC), the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. Policy Analysts also apply legislative and policy analysis across jurisdictions and territories including the implementation of Canada’s Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children and BC’s Child, Family and Community Service Amendment Act (“Bill 26”).
