Chalice is a Catholic international aid charity focused on child, family, and community development. We work closely with lay people, religious missionaries, and local communities to provide care for the many children and families caught in the dehumanizing grip of poverty. Chalice is looking for an experienced, organized and mission-connected leader to join the organization as the Human Resources Coordinator. The successful candidate will manage all aspects of human resources, reporting directly to the President, including employee relations, compliance, talent management, and identify labor global trends to prevent issues in our sites overseas. The successful candidate will be a strategic thinker, adept at balancing the needs of employees and the organization as both a Catholic Lay Organization and as a Canadian Charity.
