Join our team as an English as an Additional Language (EAL) Instructor at SWAN!
ABOUT US:
SWAN Vancouver is a non-profit organization that operates on the stolen ancestral lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are also honoured to work in the territories of the QayQayt First Nation, Kwantlen, q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen First Nations, kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) and Stó:lō Nation.
Through frontline services and systemic advocacy, SWAN promotes the rights, health, and safety of im/migrant women who are engaged in indoor sex work. Centering safety, rights, self-determination, equity, and integrity, SWAN is an anti-racist, intersectional feminist organization that prioritizes the voices, lived realities, and needs of the im/migrant women we serve. All the women accessing SWAN’s services are racialized, and our service and work are strongly influenced by multiple and varied intersections that im/migrant women experience in their lives, including race, class, age, socioeconomic and immigration status, language, and ability. As an employer, we are committed to paying a Living Wage, fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace, and supporting the professional growth of our employees.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY:
SWAN is looking for an EAL instructor who is passionate about SWAN’s mission and has experience creating inclusive, welcoming spaces for adult learners.
