People & Culture Administrative Assistant - Red Deer - Central Alberta Co-op

Job Description

Our Business Support Centre in Red Deer is looking for a Temporary People & Culture (P&C) Administrative Assistant who can juggle calendars, coordinate programs, and sprinkle a little magic (aka organization, tech savvy, and communication skills) into everything they touch.

We’re not just looking for a resume—we’re looking for a person. Someone who brings their full self to work, whether that means spreadsheets and colour-coded folders or fresh ideas and memes in the group chat.

Location: Red Deer | Full-time or Fractional – You Choose!

Wait... what’s “fractional”?

Fractional work means just that—a fraction of full-time and a fraction of the role (the part that you like the best!). Maybe you’re balancing other commitments, freelancing, parenting, studying, or planning your next great adventure. If you’re interested in part-time hours or more flexible work arrangements, we’re open to that. Let’s talk about what works for you.

4. Keep data tidy, files organized, and spreadsheets updated (training records, learning systems—we see you).
5. Want to get creative developing clear, engaging job profiles and learning resources.
6. Love seeing people celebrated—especially when you’re organizing our Long-Term Service Awards (gifts, posters, bios, banquets—yes, there will be a co-op cake).
7. Can zhuzh up leadership development materials and eLearning modules like a pro.
