About VCB

Incorporated in 1976, the Volunteer Centre of Southeastern New Brunswick Inc. is an established, multi-service non-profit organization serving communities across Southeastern New Brunswick and other regions of the province. A member of Volunteer Canada, VCB combines a strong social mission with an entrepreneurial approach to meeting community needs. Its programs include respite care, family support, and shared attendant care.

Through grants, donations, fee-for-service activities, and other earned-income strategies, VCB develops financially sustainable services and reinvests all surplus into the communities it serves. Its approach focuses on addressing unmet needs without duplicating services already available in the community.

The Opportunity

Preserve institutional knowledge, maintain established relationships, and ensure continuity while bringing fresh perspectives and ideas.
• Fund development and partnerships. Lead fundraising and build a culture of philanthropy. Cultivate donors, pursue grants, strengthen community and government partnerships, and develop earned-income opportunities that support the mission.
• Programs and social impact. Oversee program delivery, measure and evaluate outcomes, and scale effective services. Identify unmet community needs and develop innovative responses that balance social impact with financial viability.
• Financial management and accountability. Oversee financial planning, diverse funding sources, and audits. Maintain legal and fiscal accountability and ensure responsible stewardship of the organization’s resources.
• Risk, privacy, safeguarding, and safety. Oversee organizational risk management, privacy, safeguarding, regulatory compliance, and workplace safety. Maintain appropriate policies and practices to protect the people VCB serves, employees, and volunteers, reflecting the nature of VCB’s services and applicable requirements.

• Strategic and operational leadership. The ability to work collaboratively with a Board, lead staff, translate strategy into action, and use financial and program information to guide decisions.
• Language skills. Fluency in both English and French would be considered an asset.
