Role Description
The Appeals Commission conducts over 600 hearings per year both virtually and in-person from its offices in Edmonton and Calgary. As a Hearing Chair, you will chair three-person panels to hear and decide appeals of decisions of the Workers’ Compensation Board’s review body.
Hearing Chairs manage hearings, facilitate decision-making processes, and prepare the panel’s written decision. You have excellent leadership and writing skills, and extensive experience in the interpretation and application of legislation or policy, preferably in a quasi-judicial setting, and a sound understanding of administrative proceedings.
The role of Hearing Chair offers opportunities for development, including extensive training, mentorship and continuous learning. Vice Chairs and the Chief Appeals Commissioner may be recruited from the Hearing Chair pool.
The Appeals Commission is a hybrid work environment. Hearing Chairs work at the Appeals Commission’s offices in Edmonton and Calgary. Hearing Chairs must attend at either office location three full workdays per week.
