Who We are
Shaping a health research system for the future
We are a team of dedicated professionals who care deeply about each other and our work. We believe in embracing diversity as a strength and a core value.

What We Offer
Benefits
Our benefits package includes a pension plan, generous dental and health insurance and a wellness allowance; our professional development policy supports learning and growth. Here are just a few examples of employee benefits.
Hybrid work model
Our hybrid model gives you the best of both worlds — flexibility to work from home and the chance to connect in person. When you’re in the office, you’ll enjoy a beautiful space with views of False Creek, an outdoor patio for summer BBQs, a fitness centre, and easy access to restaurants and amenities.
Personal growth
Our Professional Progression Plan is all about supporting your success. Through ongoing conversations with your manager, you’ll gain clarity on your role, set meaningful goals, and build on your strengths. The plan helps you chart a path for career growth, align your development with our organizational goals, and receive regular feedback and recognition along the way.
Pension
Pension is one of our most valuable benefits. With contributions from both employees and Health Research BC, this benefit helps with long-term income beyond your working years.
Social connection
Our social committee, Team Good Times, keeps things lively with events and activities throughout the year.

It’s deeply rewarding to be part of shaping health research in BC. My team is committed to supporting applicants and helping programs evolve to meet emerging needs. I love connecting with researchers and research service support across BC, and it’s thrilling to hear about all the great health research projects taking place across BC during our peer review meetings. My role has given me the chance to make a real impact while working alongside an inspiring team.
