Associate Registrar

Location: Calgary, Alberta 

Are you a visionary leader with a passion for professional regulation and public service? The College of Respiratory Therapists of Alberta (CRTA) is looking for its next Registrar. CRTA is looking for a dynamic and strategic executive who will guide the organization into its next chapter.

As the regulatory body for over 2,000 Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs) across Alberta, CRTA’s mandate is clear: to protect the public by ensuring RRTs are qualified, competent, and ethical in their practice. CRTA is more than a regulator. CRTA is a champion of excellence in healthcare education, professional development, and research.

This role calls for a leader who thrives in complex environments, brings strong governance experience, and is committed to upholding the highest standards in health regulation and public accountability. The position will start as an Associate Registrar, and the successful candidate will transition to the Registrar position in Fall 2026.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Provide executive leadership for the College’s regulatory mandate, ensuring all functions, such as registration, professional standards, public interest, conduct, and competence, are carried out in alignment with legislation, ethical principles, and best practices.

• Support Council by providing strategic insight, policy guidance, and transparent reporting that enable informed decision-making and effective governance. 

• Drive the development and execution of strategic and operational priorities, ensuring the College remains responsive, accountable, and aligned with its mandate to protect the public interest.

• Act as the primary representative of the College, building collaborative relationships with stakeholders, government, and the public while leading communications that promote transparency, trust, and engagement.
