THE ROLE
Imagine the excitement of coordinating and delivering recreation programs and services to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and partner nations in a deployed environment for six months!
The Recreation Coordinator is part of an enthusiastic team of adventurous individuals who enjoy travel, meaningful employment and contributing in a team-based environment. Excited by the opportunity to deploy as a civilian among our CAF personnel abroad, you are a team player with a positive attitude in a fast-paced setting. You are able to adapt to new challenges in an ever-changing dynamic environment, where an unconventional workweek is commonplace.
Working in a team setting, the Recreation Coordinator will be contributing at the forefront of supporting Canada’s military abroad. Most importantly, you will be coordinating recreation programs and services for the CAF and their partner nations. The Recreation Coordinator will deliver briefings and guidance on recreation policies, directives and procedures. You play an important role in enhancing the morale of those deployed by planning recreational activities, overseeing recreation clubs, and planning excursions, outings and events. Keeping military members energized ensures they are mentally and physically ready to sustain the rigors of operations, and live healthy balanced lives.
This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity that does not come along often!
