Why STARS

At STARS, we come to work every day with a purpose…to save lives.  Whether you work in the aircraft or at one of our six bases, everyone at STARS plays a vital role in helping to provide critical care, anywhere. Since flying our first mission in 1985, we have never lost sight of what is most important – our VIPS, or Very Important Patients. Each year, we fly over 3,000 missions, providing world class critical medical care whenever and wherever we are needed, and every team member contributes to helping that VIP. We are a lifeline to the community when time and clinical expertise can make all the difference.

We are currently looking for a Community Engagement Intern at our Calgary base in the Foundation department.

It takes a team to make a difference in people’s lives. When it comes to STARS’ life-saving mission, it also takes individuals, communities, industry and governments. As a member of our Foundation team, you will be on the front-line serving as an ambassador and fostering relationships with our allies. Be part of something bigger.  Be part of our team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in building STARS’ presence in the community by fostering relationships with volunteers and very important patients (VIPs) in the communities we serve.
• Assist in coordinating internal and external event meetings, including preparing agenda, creating, and distributing an invite, taking minutes, and sending out action item requests, where applicable.
• Connect with local businesses across the province to solicit event prize donations and silent auction items.
• Liaise with Foundation colleagues to support internal and external fundraising events across the province.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• New grad or student currently enrolled in a post secondary institution.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a mature, professional, and calm demeanor.
• Advanced time management skills, ability to thrive with multiple priorities of focus.
• Experience organizing events and working with volunteers in the community.

What we offer:

At STARS, every day we come to work with a purpose, to save lives. Maybe that’s your purpose too.

We provide a strong total reward offering inclusive of a salary tailored to your education and experience, comprehensive organization-paid health and dental benefits, free parking and more. But the real reward is joining a legacy – a legacy of lives saved, of hope in the fact of the unimaginable, and of pride in making a difference.

When you join STARS, you become part of a community that knows we’re stronger together. It takes a team to deliver the highest standards of care, and we need you to help us be our best.

Elevate your career. Be part of something bigger. Be part of STARS.
