Our mission is to support all who self-identify as women and gender-diverse in fostering health, wellness, and equity through intersectional feminist approaches to advocacy, shared knowledge, and minimal-barrier programs and services. We operate a drop-in resource centre in the Downtown Eastside, offering essential resources, community care, and accessible education. In partnership with practitioners and community allies, we provide Indigenous cultural support, trauma-informed yoga, naturopathic care, and a range of holistic programs designed to meet the diverse needs of the people we serve.THE OPPORTUNITYThe VWHC is seeking a passionate, equity-driven, and visionary Executive Director (ED) with proven leadership experience, preferably in an ED or equivalent non-profit role, to guide the collective through a pivotal period of transition toward stability and sustainability. The successful candidate will bring principled leadership and strategic foresight to navigate complexity, rebuild foundational systems, and strengthen organizational resilience while upholding intersectional feminist, decolonial, and trauma-informed values.The VWHC is in a period of intentional renewal. Over the past six months, a volunteer Board of Directors has stewarded key leadership functions to ensure continuity and prepare the organization for its next phase. The ED will join a passionate, values-aligned team of four staff, alongside numerous peers and volunteers who bring heart and lived and living expertise to the shared work. This is an opportunity to shape the future of a unique intersectional feminist collective that advocates for health justice on the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəyəm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaʔɬ / Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.ABOUT THE ROLEThe ED role requires full-time, on-site presence within a highly relational, community-rooted environment where staff, peers, volunteers, and community members rely on steady, accountable, and accessible leadership. This position requires balancing immediate operational needs with forward-looking planning that is grounded in community priorities, organizational realities, and intersectional feminist, decolonial, and trauma-informed principles.The ED’s practice will involve stabilizing existing systems as well as supporting a community-led strategic planning and implementation process. This includes leading assessment of structural needs and offering recommendations that reflect both community input and operational feasibility, to support informed organizational decision-making.This position is funded for the next year through local capacity-building support and is offered as a one-year contract with a three-month probationary period. This is a fixed-term position. The contract may be renewed, subject to a performance review and a reassessment of organizational direction and operational needs by the Board of Directors, to be conducted no later than three months prior to the contract’s end.The ED will steward the organization with the support and oversight of a volunteer Board of Directors. Onboarding will include orientation to governance and operations, with training provided by relevant Board officers within their respective scopes. Given the Board’s volunteer structure, sustained full-time shadowing is not possible, and the role is best suited to an experienced leader who can work with initiative and agency while engaging collaboratively with the Board.KEY RESPONSIBILITIESFrontline interactions are a requisite to remain attuned to the lived and living realities of community members, and thereby foster trust, relational accountability, and effective support. Working in the Downtown Eastside requires being deeply comfortable within a vibrant neighbourhood where complex trauma, substance use, acute and chronic mental and physical health challenges, mental and physical violence, poverty, and systemic oppression intersect alongside profound resilience, cultural strength, and community care. With respect to the unique scope of practice of the ED, strong cultural humility; capacity for trauma and violence-informed, strengths-based engagement; skilled de-escalation and crisis intervention abilities; and comfort navigating dysregulation, conflict, and both mental and physical medical emergencies are necessities.
