Pacific Immigrant Resources Society (PIRS) is a community-based, non-profit organization serving immigrant and refugee women and their young children since 1975. PIRS delivers accessible, inclusive, low-barrier programs for immigrant and refugee women and their children that create a sense of belonging, meaningful participation and leadership. 

The purpose of the Policy & Engagement Officer position is to hold and share the expertise of the childcare sector, as well as to facilitate stakeholder engagement as a part of the Building a Childcare System that Works for Immigrant and Refugee Women project.

 Through this 21-month systemic change project, the Pacific Immigrant Resources Society (PIRS) will scale the “Building a Childcare System that Works for Immigrant and Refugee Women” project to advance women’s economic security within the childcare sector. It will address employment and education barriers faced by racialized immigrant and refugee childcare workers, as well as the issue of pay equity across the sector. To do so, the project will develop and implement effective engagement strategies with municipalities in Metro Vancouver and the Province of BC, focusing on providing policy recommendations and support their successful implementation, convene an Immigrant and Refugee Women’s Childcare Leadership Group, and amplify immigrant and refugee women’s voices at the decision-making tables.
