General Interest Application

Founded on the legacy of Rick Hansen’s Man In Motion World Tour, the Rick Hansen Foundation (RHF) is a Canadian registered charity with the vision of creating a fully inclusive and accessible world where people with disabilities are living to their full potential. Through our programs and partnerships, we break down barriers for people with disabilities by changing attitudes, creating accessible spaces, and inspiring an inclusive society.

 

If you’re interested in being a part of our innovative team but don’t see open positions that match your skills and interest, we would still love to hear from you and invite you to submit a General Interest Application.

Please note, by applying, you will be added to our applicant database.   We review general applications on an ongoing basis and will reach out if a suitable opportunity becomes available. We appreciate your time and interest; however, only candidates selected for next steps will be contacted.

We will keep your application in our system for one year from the date of application.  After this time, please consider resubmitting your application if you wish to be a part of our applicant database.

 

What we offer:

The Foundation is a supportive, inclusive and rewarding place to work. We offer remote and hybrid work, a generous vacation and health benefits package, and opportunities for professional growth and development.

 

What we look for:

Our success begins with our people. We look for people who collaborate authentically, engage respectfully, and keep their promises.

 

We are committed to building a diverse workforce representative of the communities we serve. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates including Indigenous peoples, individuals of all genders and sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin, abilities, age, and religions and anyone living at the intersection of these identities.

We strongly encourage applications from people with disabilities and invite you to disclose your disability in your cover letter, if you feel comfortable doing so. Preference will be given to applicants who have disabilities as part of our commitment to equitable hiring and to ensure that lived experience informs the work we do.
