Position Description
North Shore Community Resources (NSCR) is looking for an on-call volunteer to compile, weekly, a list of low-cost, shared and individual, housing listings available on the North Shore. This list is used by other social service agencies, individuals, and families to find affordable housing.
Time Commitment
This is a remote, on-call position. There are currently two volunteers alternating responsibility in completing the list weekly. This position is to be a backup for the current volunteers. When on-call, the list requires approximately 5 hours to complete, though it can require more or less time depending on efficiency with a computer.
Desk and computer are available for use at NSCR’s office in Capilano Mall if needed. The list is currently distributed on Thursdays, though the weekday it is compiled and submitted is flexible.
Skill & Education Requirements
This position requires proficient computer use, including the ability to browse internet postings (Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Rentals.ca, Rew.ca, Zillow, PadMapper, Apartments.com), cross-reference listings, and accurately communicate the information onto a Google Sheets document (template provided). The volunteer will need to be able to work independently, be willing to consult as needed to clarify questions, and have good communication skills overall. A computer with access to the internet is required, though NSCR can provide the computer and workspace if needed.
Language Requirements
Ability to speak, read, and write English. Additional languages are considered an asset.
Criminal Records Check Requirement
No
Commitment Level
Minimum 6 months, preferably long-term.
