Details 

Expressions of interest are invited from qualified individuals (the “Proponent”) to provide bookkeeping services for the Westcoast Inland Search and Rescue (WISAR) for a one year term (with option for renewal).

The Westcoast Inland Search and Rescue (WISAR) is a non-profit society whose purpose is to provide search and rescue assistance to the Provincial Emergency Program of the Province of British Columbia on land and inland waters. WISAR is based in the communities of Tofino and Ucluelet and provides Ground and Inland Water Search and Rescue services to local police authorities (RCMP and National Park Wardens) for Clayoquot Sound, and parts of Barkley Sound. These lands comprise the traditional territories of the Ahousaht, Ucluelet, Toquaht, Tla-o-qui-aht, and Hesquiaht First Nations. In addition, the Society responds to mutual aid requests from other parts of the Province of British Columbia. The Society currently has 42 volunteer members.

The Proponent’s primary functions will be to work with the Society Treasurer and Board to:

  • Prepare a budget and provide written and financial reports as requested;
  • Manage and track monthly financial tasks for the society;
  • Prepare annual report, charities report and GST remittance
Qualifications 

The Proponent must have a demonstrated background with accounting programs and office tools to carry out the tasks. As the WISAR intends to engage the Proponent under a contract for services, the Proponent must be capable of meeting legal requirements of being an independent contractor. WISAR is seeking a proponent who is not a member of the Society, but former members are welcome to apply. Contract will be for a one year term with a 3 month probationary term for both parties with an ability to renew annually if all parties are satisfied with the arrangement.

How to Apply 

Please submit a resume with cover letter which outlines technical ability and experience. The budget for this engagement will be $6,000 annually, including fees, taxes and expenses. Any requests for clarification of the position contact: Marcie DeWitt, WISAR Society President, 250-726-5019 or Reanne Hamel, WISAR Society Treasurer, 250-726-3724
