Working at the Credit Counselling Society
Our great culture is made possible by our talented team and supportive leadership.
People & Culture at CCS
At the Credit Counselling Society (CCS), our goal is to help people, and that starts with creating a caring and respectful culture for our team. We take our responsibilities very seriously, but not ourselves. As an accredited non-profit organization and multi-award winner of Great Places to Work in Canada, we know just how important it is to value not only what we do, but how we do it. If you’re looking to make a real difference in people’s lives, then CCS may be the right place for you.
Our Culture
When we say that we take our responsibilities seriously but not ourselves, we mean that we don’t let egos or biases affect our choices and behaviour towards each other. All employees have a part in making our culture caring, respectful, honest, and non-judgemental. The integrity of our work in helping tens of thousands of Canadians each year drives our focus on cooperation and supporting each other.
Certified Great Place to Work
This year is our sixth of being recognized as one of Canada’s best workplaces. The Great Place to Work program uses detailed employee surveys to assess the culture of an organization, and places a premium on those organizations that emphasize a healthy internal culture which supports employee engagement, quality of work life and high-performance results.
We’ve also been recognized as a Best Workplace for Women, a Best Workplace for Giving Back, a Best Workplace for Millennials, and a Best Workplace for Fairness.
Opportunities
We employ Client Care and Support staff as well as Client Services Representatives at our head office in New Westminster, BC. We employ Credit Counsellors at each of our satellite offices located from BC to Ontario in Victoria, Vancouver, New Westminster, Surrey, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Toronto.
The Team
The team at CCS is made up of highly qualified professionals with diverse skill sets and a shared vision of helping Canadians with their personal finances. We’re always looking for people with a positive can-do attitude who want to make a difference in people’s lives.
