Now Hiring: Operations Assistant
Location: Maritime Heritage Centre – Campbell River, BC
Hours: Approximately 20 hours per week, with seasonal fluctuations and flexibility depending on your skills and Centre needs. Evening and weekend shifts will be required.

The Maritime Heritage Centre is where Campbell River’s maritime past meets present-day community life. Home to the historic BCP45 fishing vessel (yes, the one from the old $5 bill), our Centre is a working museum and a vibrant community event space—hosting everything from school programs and weddings to lectures and workshops.

We’re looking for an Operations Assistant who can jump in and keep things running smoothly—whether it’s managing the front desk, helping with events, or making sure the AV doesn’t go overboard.

What you’ll be doing:

• Comfortably take the helm of daily front desk operations and admissions

• Provide support and security for events (evenings and weekends included, sometimes with alcohol served)

• Set up tables and chairs (some physical work involved)

• Light janitorial duties when needed (we all help keep the ship tidy)

• Learn to troubleshoot our basic AV system with training

• Offer a warm welcome to visitors, school groups, and event clients

• Pitch in with whatever’s needed—this is a small crew, and we’ve all got each other’s backs

What you bring:

• Reliable, trustworthy, and independent (a criminal record check will be required)

• Physically able to handle lifting and moving furniture

• A flexible schedule and reliable transportation

• Basic office and computer skills

• A good attitude and team spirit

• Comfortable engaging with the public and supporting volunteers and staff

• School program enthusiast? Social media savvy? Great! We love hidden talents!

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety in their workday, is cool under pressure, and takes pride in being the go-to person who keeps things on course.

Wage: $20–$25/hour depending on experience and what you’re ready to take on
