Role Description

WHO ARE WE?

Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse. We collaborate with local businesses and community agencies to support people, primarily women and children, as they transition to a life free of violence. Every year, in collaboration with community partners, our volunteer teams contribute tens of thousands of hours across Canada to support people transitioning to lives free of violence and abuse.

It also means showing allyship and playing a tangible role in breaking the cycle of gender-based violence in Canada. We are growing and looking to add caring, compassionate, competent people to join our team.

At Shelter Movers, we know that diverse backgrounds, skills, and life experiences make us stronger and better equipped to understand and serve our diverse client community. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to share their unique perspectives in support of our mission. We welcome and encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds without regard to age, colour, race, sex, religion or belief, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family or parental status, genetic characteristics, or physical or mental disability, or any other background that sets you apart, AND who share our passion for making a difference.
