EHS Specialist - Sault Ste. Marie

Oak House Benefits believes in redefining corporate culture by continuing to invest in people over profits. We're proud of our one-of-a-kind workplace, where our team's individuality, passion, authenticity, and creativity come together to create incredible client solutions.

Fun fact: 85% of the OHB team has worked together before. That's not a coincidence; it's solid proof that an authentic culture of caring at work will always bring the right people together. Our OHB family is expanding as we launch our latest custom solution: LEAF - Logical, Engaging, Accessible, and Flexible absence and disability management services.

We're on the lookout for our next great addition: a Bilingual Absence and Disability Specialist.

What the Role is:

As the Bilingual Absence and Disability Specialist, you'll play a crucial role in our mission to make absence management a bit LEAF-ier. You'll work closely with the Practice Lead, Absence & Disability Solutions, to develop comprehensive and tailor-made absence management solutions that seamlessly fit our clients' distinct organizational structures, cultures, and employee dynamics.

Your ability to be a Case Manager and tackle the curveballs of the absence management world - STD / LTD claims, medical leaves of absence, non-medical leaves, workplace accommodations, and attendance programs, etc. – is one of your biggest talents. With your expertise, you’ll be asked to “go beyond the claim” and act as a strategic advisor, guiding HR departments, managers, and employees through absences and accommodations, while creating a culture of trust and transparency.

What You Bring:

• Fluently French / English bilingual (written and spoken)
• A minimum of 5 years' experience in the absence and disability management industry, preferably with STD claims management experience
• A strong understanding of ESA legislation, WSIB / WCB / CNESST, human rights legislation, labour relations and collective bargaining, within the context of absence and disability
• A university degree, preferably within the Health Sciences
• Exceptional decision-making, analytical and problem-solving skills
• Prior experience as a Disability Case Manager
• Proven ability to collaborate and develop client-focused solutions
• Demonstrated success in client retention and program optimization

The Fine Print:

OHB is located in Brantford, ON; this role is offered as remote work, with the understanding that you would be welcome on-site, too! We are a hybrid company because we love to reconnect in person.

The Salary Range:

The annual salary range for this role is $60,000 - $75,000 based on experience and skills.

The Perks:

• An epic work/life balance commitment from OHB (including a generous vacation policy!)
• Employer-paid benefits (including Health, Dental, CI, EFAP, HCSA, and other industry acronyms)
• RRSP matching
• And the absolute feel-goodedness you'll get from working with a team that really cares about you, each other, and our clients.
