Why Work for Us

"Working as a fundraiser on our BC team has been incredibly inspiring. Our team's culture of collaboration and innovation makes every day rewarding. In my role focusing on community partnerships and sponsorships, I've had the privilege of being part of initiatives that raise crucial funds and forge meaningful connections within our community. From our signature Fire Ball gala to exclusive events and community awareness campaigns, each project is driven by our commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by arthritis."

"I joined Arthritis Society Canada in 2018, first overseeing our Canada-wide knowledge translation portfolio, and now also our patient and public education resources. I love that I get to communicate about the latest research and medical evidence in an accessible way to inform and empower the arthritis community, and work with colleagues in different departments to collectively make an impact as we transform what it means to have arthritis. It continues to inspire me to work alongside such talented, values-driven colleagues and volunteers everyday, and I have never felt so united as a team."

Director, Knowledge Translation & Exchange

"I have had the pleasure of working at Arthritis Society Canada since 2014, first joining as the Manager, Online Marketing. Right from the start, I found a supportive culture and colleagues nationwide who cared for each other, the work we do and the people we serve. I am also fortunate to have been given opportunities to grow as a leader with coaching, mentoring and many development opportunities. Today I am honoured, through my leadership role, to make a true impact in moving forward our mission of helping people with arthritis fight the fire of this terrible disease and live better. I would not have had this privilege without the supportive culture at Arthritis Society Canada that’s focused on unity, transformation and impact."

"Working as an Occupational Therapist in today’s health care system comes with its challenges. Here at Arthritis Society Canada, I feel supported and inspired in my day-to-day work within our Ontario-based Arthritis Rehabilitation and Education Program (AREP), and know that our leadership team is committed to supporting us, not just as clinicians, but as people. United is one of our core values, and I feel not only united with my colleagues provincially and nationwide, but also with the population we serve to deliver the very best treatment. Our corporate culture is contagiously positive, and I feel passionate and engaged with my work everyday."

Occupational Therapist, ACPAC

"It is a pleasure working here at Arthritis Society Canada. Everyday is a new challenge that keeps me on my toes. I get to work alongside great people and feel greatly appreciated as well. Specifically, as a System Analyst in IT, I get to work with various technologies to provide better support for my team and the organization. Management inspires me to do my best, being part of a team that promotes a positive and supportive work environment. With a forward-facing direction, nothing is ever repetitive as there is always a new skill to learn and someone to connect with."

Alfred Szutu
System Analyst

"I first joined Arthritis Society Canada during a pivotal time not only in our organization, but across the globe. Working primarily with our loyal individual donors, foundations and our community-at-large, I witnessed first-hand just how passionate and generous our supporters are. Every day is a new adventure, with stories to hear and the ability to work with a highly-skilled team and fearless leaders with a bold vision of the future. Inspired by our leadership and those we serve, it has been a pleasure to connect our community to be changemakers in eliminating the fire of arthritis, together."
