The Sunshine Coast
A natural paradise blessed with mild winters, beautiful surroundings, and showcasing the best aspects of outdoor adventure, arts, and culture. Bordered by rugged mountains and blue ocean waters, situated on a peninsula (not an island) in the ancestral lands of the shíshálh (Sechelt) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) First Nations, this is the Sunshine Coast. Whatever hobby or interest you might enjoy, we have it right here. Hike the trails, get out in a kayak, try golfing, swimming, fishing, cross-country skiing, attend festivals, visit museums, go whale-watching, or any of the other recreational activities that are right at our doorstep. Big city life is only a 40-minute ferry ride away. A preferred tourist destination, a great place to live and play, now is the time to consider making this amazing place your ‘home’.
Compensation and Benefits
We have what is being called the very best compensation and benefit package that is out there. Immediately upon hire this position includes an additional $3.05 per hour cash-in-lieu of benefits, offers 6% vacation pay, and pro-rated sick leave. After 30 days of employment the wage rate will expand to include an additional 5% in lieu of statutory holiday pay. The SCRD also provides for eye exams and eyewear, on a pro-rated basis, for the hours worked. Part-time, qualified employees are eligible to join the General Casual List, for potential on-call employment in other divisions, provided the casual work does not conflict with regularly scheduled hours.
The Parks Labourer is a bargaining unit position with a wage rate of $26.18 per hour, working up to 37.5 hours during the summer, with reduced hours during the fall and winter. Please note: the schedule will vary and includes early morning and weekend work.
