This job is based in the thriving and diverse city of Whitehorse in the beautiful Yukon.
Our Team
Part of the Health and Social Services department, the Health Safety and Emergency Management unit is found within Corporate Services and leads the department in five key program areas: risk management, business continuity planning, occupational health and safety, health emergency management, and emergency support services (ESS). The emergency support systems require supplies which are housed in or handled by our warehouse facility in Whitehorse. This unit is agile and responsive to emergencies in the territory and plays a key role in preparedness and planning activities.
Your Role
The role of the Warehouse and Operations Support Worker is to provide basic warehouse operations, maintenance, and inventory control, as well as versatile operational support. This position requires flexibility to work interchangeably between warehouse duties and supporting health emergency and emergency support services operations. This may include delivery of supplies within the territory, or supporting individuals impacted by emergencies in their own communities.
Emergency response often requires 24/7 availability, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. The Warehouse and operations support worker may need to work irregular hours and be on-call to address emerging needs.
