Office of the Representative for Children and Youth
Policy Analyst
Band 2
Location: Multiple Locations, Remote, British Columbia
Salary range: $78,400.17 – $110,800.21 annually
This posting is to establish an eligibility list for current and future permanent and temporary opportunities. Temporary appointments resulting from this eligibility list may be extended or become permanent. We have two available permanent positions available.

The Representative for Children and Youth (RCY), an independent and non-partisan officer of the B.C. Legislature, works to influence positive change to B.C.’s child-, youth- and young adult-serving systems.



Working under the authority of the Representative for Children and Youth Act and Regulations, the Representative’s Office provides advocacy support to people dealing with the service system and advocates directly on behalf of children, youth and young adults, monitors and reviews government services for children and youth and reviews and sometimes investigates deaths and critical injuries of children and youth who are receiving services.

We aspire to a legacy where children, youth, young adults and families served by the child and family serving systems receive timely, appropriate and compassionate support and services that they need, when they need it. We dream of a Province where all children and families thrive and where experiences of stigma, shame, judgment and racism have been eliminated.

Overview of Position

Reporting to a Manager within the Systemic Advocacy, First Nations, Métis and Inuit Research team, the Policy Analyst works in collaboration with other RCY program areas, subject matter experts, people with lived experience and RCY partners to examine legislation, regulations, policies, and standards of designated services to produce executive briefings, write public monitoring reports and mobilize resources for collective systemic action.



Policy Analysts play an significant role in catalyzing system-wide changes through relational and strategic work that reflects the rights and needs of children, youth, young adults, their families and communities in British Columbia as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights on the Child (UNCRC), the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. Policy Analysts also apply legislative and policy analysis across jurisdictions and territories including the implementation of Canada’s Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children and families (“Bill C-92”), BC’s Child, Family and Community Service Amendment Act (“Bill 26”) and BC’s Indigenous Self-Government in Child and Family Services Amendment Act (“Bill 38”).
