Careers In Ottawa & Across Canada

We are a diverse organization, with over half of our Staff and our Board identifying as Black or People of Color (BIPOC); two thirds of our Staff identifying as immigrants to Canada; strong representation from women and 2SLGBTQI+ people; and richness of languages, religions and countries of origin (Source: Oxfam Canada Demographic Survey 2023). As an organization and as individuals, we stand against all systems of oppression, violence, and hate. We stand for justice, equity, diversity, inclusion (JEDI) and decolonization within our organization and society at large, guided by our Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Principles (ARAO) and our Feminist Principles.

At Oxfam Canada, we encourage applications from individuals whose identities, perspectives, and life experiences enrich our work. This includes women and gender non-conforming individuals, Indigenous peoples, Black and racialized communities, 2SLGBTQI+ individuals, persons with disabilities, immigrants to Canada (particularly from the Global South), and others from underrepresented groups.

Our office is located on unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin First Nation. We recognize the longstanding relationship the Algonquin have with this territory that has been nurtured since time immemorial. We also pay respect to all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples who remain on their traditional lands that we now know as Canada.

We acknowledge the historical and ongoing oppression and colonization of the people and the loss of culture and land. We recognize the valuable past, present and future contributions of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples as customary keepers and defenders of this territory. We honour their culture, knowledge, leadership and courage. We commit to acting in solidarity with First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in their struggles for self-determination and decolonization and in support of the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2015) and the Calls for Justice of the National Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (2019).
