Applicants to both EMD and EMCT positions are selected based on Article 13.01 for qualified bargaining unit applicants and 13.04 for unqualified internal and external applicants.

Qualified applicants are those applicants who have completed probation.

 

Current FT employees in Vancouver Dispatch, as well as all other applicants to the posting, must apply to the posting AND submit the Dispatch Shuffle Preference Form to ensure their shift pattern and team/platoon preference is considered by seniority when assigning positions.

 

In order to complete the application process, all applicants must complete both steps (apply to the posting AND submit the Dispatch Shuffle Preference Form) by the closing of the posting.

 

• If an Employee applies to the posting but does not submit a completed Dispatch Shuffle Preference form, the applicant will not be considered as an applicant for the posting.

• If an Employee submits a completed Dispatch Shuffle Preference form, but does not apply to the posting, the applicant will not be considered as an applicant for the posting.

 

The form can be found on the BCEHS website at https://liquidoffice.bcehs.ca:4433/lfserver/EHS_0123 and must be submitted to the BCEHS Recruitment Helpdesk following the instructions on the form. Forms submitted to managers, charges or other areas will not be accepted. 

 

Employees must submit a separate form for each posting. Forms for multiple posts or postings will be deemed invalid. Shuffle preference forms for this posting will be accepted up to and including October 21, 2025

 

The shuffle process will take place immediately following recruitment of FT regular positions. Vacancies will be filled by seniority and request for all positions throughout the process. Current FT Regular Employees will only be moved if one of their preferred positions become available. Employee request forms will expire upon completion of the shuffle, and employees will need to submit a new request for any future postings.

 

A Post Shuffle Guideline Document was developed between BCEHS and CUPE 873 to summarize and clarify the recruitment and post shuffle processes under the provisions of the collective agreement. Please refer to the guideline located here on the BCEHS Intranet.
