Seeking enthusiastic, creative and committed individuals to join our team for the 2025 Summer Season

 

Triple S Ranch & Market Garden is a non-profit social enterprise that contributes to the community and Alberta’s agribusiness.  Our organization provides a creative solution to support the unique employment needs of neurodiverse adults, specifically those with Autism Spectrum Disorder [ASD]. It promotes personal growth and success on a safe, eco-friendly, sustainable ranch.  You will support a team that will grow organic produce for the local community, businesses and markets. This role will provide essential administrative support to the Director and team, while also playing a key role in coordinating fundraising activities and maintaining the organization's website and digital presence.

​

This is the perfect job for you because:

• You thrive in a dynamic environment where every day is a little different.

• You love getting things organized and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

• You have a heart for community service and a passion for supporting people with diverse abilities.

• You’re as comfortable behind a spreadsheet as you are drafting a thank-you email to a donor.

• You enjoy updating websites, tinkering with layouts, and making digital content shine.

• You’re a self-starter who can take initiative but also knows when to ask questions.

• You want to work somewhere meaningful—where your contributions directly support real people and positive change.

 

This is the perfect job for you if you are interested in:

• The power of inclusive communities and want to make a tangible difference in the lives of adults with autism and other neurodiversities.

• Wearing many hats—from coordinating admin tasks to pitching in on fundraising campaigns to updating a website.

• Seeing what needs to be done and getting it done, even if it’s not in the job description.

• Taking pride in being the go-to person who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

• Working independently, but also value collaboration, feedback, and shared purpose.

• Learning new tools or systems—whether it’s a new fundraising platform or a better way to manage content online.

• The flexibility of a hybrid work environment and the chance to be part of something meaningful and grassroots.

• Animals don’t mind a bit of dirt now and then, and understand that sometimes a goat might photobomb a Zoom call.

 

This is the perfect job if you are:

• part of the neurodiverse community, or

• autistic, or

• someone who would like to work in the fields of neurodiversity: a great immersive opportunity; or

• you just want a bit of extra money over the summer.

 

If you are interested in joining our team of like-minded individuals.  This is a perfect opportunity to develop your skills.
