EAWs play an important role in the lives of British Columbians seeking income and disability assistance. EAWs determine eligibility for assistance, and deliver impactful decisions to citizens, sometimes in sensitive or crisis situations. EAWs are active listeners, possess strong interview and conflict management skills, and remain calm, compassionate and clear in the face of difficult conversations and service pressures. EAWs may serve clients in person, over the phone, or by other virtual means. The Service Delivery Division team is large and virtual, yet close-knit. You will build close relationships with coworkers located physically in your office, and virtually using online meeting tools and other technology. The EAW role is challenging, so being a supportive team player and maintaining a positive team culture is critical.
