Play a critical role in your community
The BC Coroners Service (BCCS) is responsible for determining the circumstances of all sudden, unexpected and unnatural deaths in the province. The BCCS is seeking mature, compassionate and community minded individuals to work as Coroners on an “as and when required” basis. These unique positions offer an opportunity for individuals to use various skills in serving their communities in a high profile role.

This will include attending scenes of sudden death, liaising with police and other emergency responders, conducting an examination of the body, providing information and guidance to families, and entering information into an electronic case management system. Upon completion of the scene and field work, the community coroner’s responsibilities are fulfilled, and follow-up investigation is performed by a full-time coroner in the regional office.

Compensation is dependent upon the number of cases and hours worked, which may vary significantly in each community. This position in not open to current provincial government employees, current civilian employees of any police force or anyone in a position which may create potential conflict of interest or perception of bias or interfere with the impartiality of your role.
