The most interesting of the opportunities we've seen this week:
Not Far From the Tree rescues harvestable fruit from trees in Toronto. Last year, they gathered more than 12,000, a significant portion of which went to local shelters and food service organizations. NFFTT is currently filling two summer student postions: one is a
community animator, to help with local engagement efforts, and is a
logistics and equipment assistant, which requires some physical labour.
Also in food security and food issues, the North York Harvest Food Bank has several positions open. Among them are a
senior manager of agency relations, to oversee engagement with member organizations; a part-time
garden coordinator, to organize and run engagement programs; and a
food bank assistant, to work with incoming and existing clients.
In the environmental sector, residential solar energy company PURE Energies is on the hunt for a
sales team lead. It's a senior post requiring a mimimum of 7-10 years experience; the successful candidate will be supervising a team of at least 15.
The Ontario Nonprofit Network, which was created to strengthen the nonprofit sector in the province, is also hiring for a summer position: an
engagement coordinator to work with member organizations and help with event planning and communications.
Among cultural organizations, the National Film Board is hiring a part-time
publicity assistant to help with event promotion, media monitoring, and administrative support.
Startup Synaptive Medical works on developing new tools for neurosurgery; they have
about ten jobs available as they ramp up operations. Among them are several software development postions, plus opportunities for engineers and one intellectual property coordinator.
Finally in tech jobs, two more openings to tell you about. One is with TELUS Digital Labs, an innovation hub within the broader company. They are looking for a
senior web developer with particular expertise in mobile, to take the lead on several projects. And Blue Ant Media, which creates titles ranging from Cottage Life to music magazine Aux, is hiring a
development lead with at least five years of experience.
