Job Descriptions<br />
Purpose<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>Church</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> is committed to ensuring that the description <strong>of</strong> jobs is<br />
accurate, complies with legislation, and provides coverage for the tasks required to carry<br />
out the work <strong>of</strong> each unit.<br />
<strong>Policy</strong><br />
Employing units and Conferences are responsible for writing job descriptions in a format<br />
consistent with the template established by the Ministry and Employment Unit, and<br />
assigning appropriate job titles, so that the strategic goals <strong>of</strong> the unit can be met. Final<br />
authority for job descriptions rests with the Executive Officer/Minister, Conference Executive<br />
Secretary/Speaker, in consultation with the Ministry and Employment Unit.<br />
Procedures<br />
1. Job descriptions should include the tasks and responsibilities <strong>of</strong> the position, the<br />
position’s relationship to other positions, the conditions under which the work is<br />
performed, and the qualifications required.<br />
2. Job titles should be brief and descriptive <strong>of</strong> the position, and, where possible, be<br />
consistent with other similar positions in the General Council and Conference <strong>of</strong>fices.<br />
3. Changes to job descriptions must be submitted to the Ministry and Employment Unit to<br />
ensure compliance with category benchmarks, human rights legislation, and<br />
employment equity objectives, and to determine whether the changes are significant<br />
enough to warrant a job category review.<br />
