“Working in IPAC allows you to reach your desire to help others. Some roles will have certain requirements, but a passion to care for and look after others is a key necessity. IPAC is such a vast sector, with roles that vary from administration, physicians, correctional facilities, ambulances, and social care with opportunities to suit varying education and experience levels. The team promotes personal growth and support is available.”
Olivia OldesloeIPAC Project Coordinator
“From a young age, I’ve been passionate about helping others and intrigued by health care roles. In 2020, inspired by the challenges health care workers faced during COVID-19, I applied to IPAC to support them by managing back-end operations and ensuring system efficiency. I was fortunate to channel my passion into a meaningful career, directly contributing to the improvement of systems and processes that support health care professionals.”
Alex TodeaSurveillance Systems Coordinator
“I initially joined PHSA in 2021 as a student volunteer with the hand hygiene heroes’ quality improvement campaign at BC Children’s. I learnt a lot about hand hygiene compliance and my background in immunology motivated me to apply for the Hand Hygiene Auditor and Surveillance Analyst student co-op job with IPAC. After my co-op, I joined the same team in a different capacity as project coordinator, which allows me an insight into infection control through a different lens.”
