Student Rights and Responsibilities Officer

Who we are

At Yorkville University and Toronto Film School, we believe education is more than the pursuit of knowledge – it is a catalyst for transformation. Our mission, grounded in democratizing education, is to create access for learners from every background and empower them to achieve their aspirations and advance their careers.

We are committed to delivering rigorous, flexible programs that are both personally fulfilling and professionally rewarding, while contributing to the betterment of society. Since 2004, Yorkville has been among Canada’s few private, for‑profit, fully accredited degree‑granting universities, with campuses in Ontario, British Columbia, and New Brunswick. Together with Toronto Film School, we offer creative and academic pathways at both the college and university levels, cultivating a multidisciplinary environment where innovation and the arts converge.

Our community is vibrant and diverse. Many of our learners are adults balancing education with careers and personal commitments. Every member of our team – whether in teaching, operations, or technology – is dedicated to removing barriers and expanding access. Together, we deliver flexible, industry‑informed learning that leads to meaningful opportunities.

At our core is human connection – guiding people to reimagine their futures in a community defined by opportunity, creativity, and growth.

Reporting to the Manager, Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR), we are looking for a Student Rights and Responsibilities Officer who is passionate about supporting students and fostering a fair, inclusive, and respectful campus community. In this role, you will help students understand their rights and responsibilities while providing guidance on complex conduct‑related issues, policies, and community standards. You will act as a key connector, receiving and reviewing concerns, conducting fact‑finding, facilitating early‑resolution processes, and linking students to appropriate supports.

Beyond individual cases, you will contribute to educational programming, maintain accurate records, and prepare reports that inform decision‑making and enhance student experiences. This is a pivotal role in ensuring students feel supported, understood, and empowered, while helping build a safe and equitable learning environment for the entire university community.

This 12‑month, full‑time contract role is a net new addition to the team and has the potential to become permanent. The position follows a hybrid model (minimum four days on campus), with work split between our Toronto locations (Steeles Campus and Downtown campus) and remote work.

Meaningful impact. You want to make a difference as a trusted resource to students. As the first person they speak to when they feel confused, overwhelmed, or unsure of their options, you will offer clarity, empathy, and steady guidance, reducing fear and uncertainty. You will help students navigate challenges and connect with the right resources. By ensuring they feel supported and understood, your work directly contributes to a positive and fair student experience.
