About us

The Alberta Funeral Services Regulatory Board (AFSRB) is the regulatory authority designated by the Government of Alberta to administer the Funeral Services Act and its associated regulations. We are a small but dedicated team—comprised of two full-time and two part-time professionals—committed to maintaining high standards across the funeral services industry.

Our core mandate is to protect consumer rights by promoting transparency, professionalism, and accountability within the sector. We support a fair and informed marketplace through the enforcement of ethical business practices, robust educational standards, and consistent regulatory oversight.

Our Work Environment Offers:

Flexible working hours
A collaborative and respectful workplace culture
Please note: This is a part-time position and will not meet the needs of individuals seeking full-time employment.

Position Summary:
The AFSRB is seeking a part-time Compliance Officer to support its regulatory functions. Reporting directly to the Executive Director, the Compliance Officer will be responsible for ensuring licensee adherence to the Funeral Services Act and related policies.
