Purpose with a Passion
The First Peoples’ Cultural Council (FPCC) is a First Nations-led Crown Corporation that provides grants, training, coaching and resources to First Nations communities in B.C.
We are a team of B.C. First Nations, Indigenous peoples and allies working together in pursuit of a vision where First Nations arts, cultural heritage and languages are thriving and passed on to future generations. While we place a priority on B.C. First Nations and Indigenous hires, we have a number of non-Indigenous staff at FPCC, and we welcome allies who believe in reconciliation and want to make this country a better place. We conduct research to monitor the vitality of First Nations arts, cultural heritage and languages in B.C. and are honoured to work alongside community experts who are leading revitalization efforts.
We are guided by First Nations values and are seeking people with a passion for arts, cultural heritage, language and technology to join our team. If you are committed to making a difference for First Nations people in B.C. and want to be a part of a dynamic and progressive organization, we encourage you to apply!
Flexible Work Environment
FPCC is grateful to have our home in the beautiful traditional unceded territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation people, in the village of W̱JOȽEȽP. Most staff live in the greater Victoria region, but some live in communities like Shawnigan Lake and Duncan and travel to the office by ferry. We offer a flexible work environment with a satellite office at Tk’emlups within the traditional territory of the Secwepemc people. For FPCC staff residing on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, we also offer the opportunity to work in Werklab, a shared co-working site. We currently offer hybrid and in-office opportunities, depending on the position.
Strong Team Culture
Our main office is a new, modern space that features Indigenous art from across B.C. It offers an open floor plan that supports natural sharing and collaboration. There is a large boardroom, private spaces for meetings and phone calls and a conversation pod for informal chats.
We work hard, but we have fun too. In our beautiful W̱JOȽEȽP office, we often gather at lunch to try our hand at beading or solving crossword puzzles together. Some take lunchtime walks to enjoy the view of W̱JOȽEȽP, while others head to a local eatery or picnic outside in the summer months.
Competitive Benefits
FPCC places a high priority on the health and well-being of our staff. We offer a competitive employment benefits package that supports employees at all stages of life and includes extended health and dental benefits, maternity leave, parental leave and access to the B.C. Government defined-benefit pension plan. And yes, massage therapy and acupuncture are covered!
FPCC is also committed to training, professional development and cultural supports, including:
- Professional memberships and development opportunities
- Access to coaching and mentorship
- Time off for cultural observances and activities
Employee Values and Skills
FPCC is looking for individuals who are: solutions-focused, team-oriented, flexible, reliable and passionate about continuous learning and knowledge sharing. We value strong communication skills, integrity, initiative, and the ability to apply business principles and practices to decision-making.
