Situated on the beautiful UBC campus in Vancouver, where Carey has served students and churches for over six decades, Carey Theological College is undergoing an ambitious transformation. This is not a traditional institutional postingit's a call to help rebuild something that matters. Carey is repositioning itself with the boldness of a startup, but the foundation of a historic, conservative evangelical tradition. We are re-establishing our identity around theological clarity, classical formation, and the unchanging truths of Scripture.

We are looking for those who are battle-testedboth spiritually and professionally. People who will not drift, who lead with conviction, and who are energized by the hard, often unseen work of rebuilding systems, culture, and mission. This is a role for builders, not maintainers.
