Black Creek Community Farm strives to create a workspace that reflects the diversity of identities and lived experiences that exist within the communities we work alongside.

We are committed to working to identify and dismantle systemic forms of oppression in the food system. Racialized people and others from equity-seeking groups are over-represented in food insecurity and poverty statistics, but are significantly under-represented in community-based food work. We believe the Black community, low-income communities, and other equity-deserving groups must play a central role in defining food justice and its priorities. We believe that those most affected by an issue must have access to paid positions in organizations tasked with challenging poverty and food insecurity.

Black Creek Community Farm (BCCF) is a member of FoodShare Toronto’s Supportive Partnerships Platform – staff hired for these positions will be employed by FoodShare Toronto, and their work location will be Black Creek Community Farm.

Black Creek Community Farm is an equal-opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We are pleased to consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, national origin, age, disability, protected veteran status, or any other legally-protected factors.

Note: If you do not meet all of the qualifications, but think this job is perfect for you, we encourage you to include any transferable skills and experiences in your application because we would still love to see your application.

If you feel you need accommodation during the application process, please do not hesitate to contact Human Resources at hr@foodshare.net at your earliest convenience. You will also be briefed on FoodShare’s policies regarding accommodation and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

We don’t have any open positions right now, but stay tuned — new opportunities may be posted soon.

BCCF Selection Process for Paid Positions:

  1. The first step in the hiring process is for FoodShare’s HR team to screen applications to determine which demonstrate meeting the posting’s base qualifications. Please make sure to include details of your experience in your resume/cover letter to ensure the committee has the information they need to assess your qualifications for the role. This process takes at least 2 weeks from the application deadline.

  2. The hiring committee will review the applications that pass the initial screening and decide which candidates to invite to interview. This process usually takes about 1 week.

  3. The hiring committee will conduct first-round interviews with selected candidates. Candidates will be sent the interview questions 48 hours before their scheduled interview. Candidates are welcome, but not expected or required, to send any questions they have to the hiring committee in advance of the interview. These interviews usually occur about 4 weeks after the application deadline. In recognition of the time and labour of preparing for and attending an interview, BCCF financially compensates interviewees at a fixed rate of $75 per interview.

  4. The hiring committee may conduct a second round of interviews, which may include a pre-interview assignment, which would be compensated.

  5. HR will conduct reference checks for the candidate if BCCF intends to extend an offer. This process usually takes about 1 week.

  6. HR will send the selected candidate an Employment Agreement, which the candidate will have at least 1 week to review and return.
