Inclusion Statement

 Wellspring Alberta is committed to being an inclusive organization. We are in a process of expanding the diversity of identities and lived experiences, to be more reflective of the communities in which we work and live. We encourage applications from groups who might not see themselves suitably reflected in current representations of those on our current board. To support this process, we’ve become an employer partner of the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, developed an Advisory group, and we are taking action as part of our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. We understand we’re on a journey, which will take time, and that increasing equity in our organization and in cancer care is critical.  We welcome you to contact us for a conversation about accessibility and accommodations throughout the recruitment process.  We know that women and people of colour are less likely to apply for roles unless they meet every single requirement. If you’re excited about the role, but your qualifications don’t match perfectly, we encourage you to apply.  We appreciate your interest in Wellspring and warmly welcome all applications.
