Policy Analyst Full Time NEW

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, people with lived experience and RCY partners to examine legislation, regulations, policies, and standards of designated services. Policy analysts produce executive briefings, write public monitoring 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, youth and families (“Bill C-92”) and BC’s Child, Family and Community Service Amendment Act (“Bill 26”).
