2SLGBTQIA+ Community Engagement Facilitator
Part-time, casual.
Applicants must be a resident of Ontario, Canada.
About the Office of the Chief Coroner for Ontario (OCC):
The OCC provides death investigations and inquests to ensure that no death is overlooked, concealed, or ignored. The findings are used to generate recommendations to improve public safety and prevent further deaths. Death investigations are a rich source of information on social determinants and circumstances of death for accidents, suicides, homicides, and other deaths investigated by coroners. Data from death investigations support better understanding of mortality trends in Ontario and inform policies, public health interventions, and community-led action to reduce risks of death and harm.
With support from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the OCC is embarking on an initiative to engage with 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations, people with lived experience, and other sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristic (SOGI-SC) experts to develop culturally informed standard practices for the collection and governance of SOGI-SC information in death investigations. This initiative will be informed by priorities and perspectives of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities through meaningful engagement and collaboration.
About the role:
The 2SLGBTQIA+ Community Engagement Facilitator will lead engagement sessions with diverse 2SLGBTQIA+ networks. The purpose of these sessions will be to identify and understand community priorities for culturally informed coroner practices for collecting SOGI-SC information in death investigations.
As the Engagement Facilitator, you will be responsible for:
· Having an in-depth knowledge of the OCC’s SOGI-SC initiative
· Co-designing pertinent questions to be used in engagement sessions
· Utilizing engaging methods to promote feedback from participants
· Facilitating engagement sessions using intersectional, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed approaches
· Providing a summary of findings from engagement sessions based on participant feedback
· Supporting the development of a community network for ethical data governance
The Engagement Facilitator will have excellent facilitation, organization, and communication skills. Experience conducting community engagement sessions with diverse groups and perspectives is essential. Lived experience as a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community is essential to this role. Experience working with First Nations, Métis, Inuit, Black, and other racialized communities is an asset. Applied knowledge of intersectionality, anti-oppression, and trauma-informed approaches for engagement is an asset.
A tentative timeline has been set for the community engagement sessions to occur between April and December 2025. Compensation is negotiable.
