Summer Youth Positions – Various Units

DESCRIPTION:

The Sault Area Hospital has applied for funding through the Canada Summer Job (CSJ) Program.  CSJ is a program under the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS), which aims to provide flexible and holistic services to help youth in Canada develop the skills and gain paid work experience to successfully transition into the labour market. The number of approved funded positions will not be confirmed until the end of April 2023. All applicants MUST meet the eligibility requirements as set out by CSJ. At this time, please submit an application attaching a cover letter and resume detailing your current field of study (if applicable) and where you might be interested in working at the hospital.  Please title your application with your name and area of interest (ie. “John Smith-Human Resources”).  Some potential areas of interest may include but are not limited to:

 

  • Human Resources
  • Pharmacy
  • Occupational Therapy/Physiotherapy
  • Business and Finance
  • Project Management
  • Recreational Therapy
  • Nursing

ELIGIBILITY:                         

To be eligible to participate in the CSJ initiative, individuals must:

  • Be between 15 and 30 years of age at the start of the employment*
  • Be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person to whom refugee protection has been conferred under theImmigration and Refugee Protection Act for the duration of employment**; and
  • Have a valid Social Insurance Number at the start of employment and be legally entitled to work in Canada in accordance with relevant provincial or territorial legislation and regulations.

*The youth must be 15 years of age at the beginning of the employment period. The youth may be more than 30 years of age at the end of the employment period as long as the youth was 30 at the beginning of the employment period.

**International students are not eligible participants. International students include anyone who is temporarily in Canada for studies and who is not a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person who has been granted refugee status in Canada. Youth awaiting a refugee status ruling, as well as those who hold a temporary visitor visa, youth visa or work visa are ineligible. As the objective of the CSJ program is to support youth entering the Canadian labour market, the temporary nature of an international student’s time in Canada does not allow for a long-term connection to the labour market.
