The Indigenous Partnerships and Strategic Services (IPaSS) division supports Children and Family Services (CFS) and its partners in improving outcomes for Indigenous people in Alberta through cultural understanding, relationship building, and strategic leadership. The IPaSS division is focused on carrying out transformational work pertaining to strategic priorities that include leading the development and implementation of an Indigenous Engagement to support ongoing collaboration with Indigenous leadership and communities. This position works within the Indigenous Connections (IC) unit, in the Indigenous and Community Connections branch.

**Role Responsibilities**:
Reporting to the Manager of IC, the Indigenous Connections Advisor acts as a primary connection and advisor to the ministry by taking a proactive approach to build upon and strengthen relationships across the province. These relationships influence and shape the direction, design and implementation of ministry plans, policies and programs. This position is part of a team that fosters a collaborative culture within the ministry.

This position is expected to develop and maintain collaborative relationships, inform the development of effective public policy and programs, and strategic planning to ensure there is awareness of emerging issues and directions, that actions are coordinated, and that appropriate input is provided in the development and delivery of ministry engagement with Indigenous leadership and communities. The role therefore requires exceptional writing and analysis skills, a high level of political astuteness, knowledge of diverse Indigenous governance bodies including business and cultural protocols/practice across Alberta, and the ability to work independently.

You will also assist CFS staff in leveraging strong community relationships to pro-actively identify issues and systemic issues.

You must ensure consistent, early involvement of Indigenous peoples in initiatives, program design, and policy development to inform directions, and directly contribute to the success of resulting solutions. This involves engaging and maintaining relationships with Indigenous communities to be informed of priority initiatives, and options to work together towards better outcomes. Other tasks include being responsible to determine, design, and deliver the best approaches to work with Indigenous Communities; and perform grant management for funded initiatives including monitoring and providing reporting on financial progress, milestones, and deliverables

**Role Description cont'd**:
An Indigenous Connections Advisor provides input, direction, recommendations, advice and analysis on proposed changes to CFS programs or initiatives including: promoting and accurately communicating the interests and world views of Indigenous partners and key stakeholders to the appropriate decision-makers within CFS (e.g., at the Executive Director, ADM level) to inform project activities or policy changes and providing relevant advice, analysis, and recommendations on options and courses of action for decision making to senior management, other ministries, Indigenous communities and organizations and other stakeholders.

Through your ability to lead research and provide advice and guidance on a range of Indigenous issues to increase awareness of relevant issues, and support and influence decision-making and policy directions you must: identify the impact of Indigenous issues and priorities to divisional branches; Share, interpret, and accurately communicate information regarding Indigenous community issues with other divisional branches, and with other ministries, often under tight time restrictions; Develop and share information, knowledge and expertise in critical areas of policy, program and relationships within the ministry; Provide advice and analysis on complex issues or situations involving legal and jurisdictional issues and views, political sensitivities, multiple interests that have significant potential for precedent and significant consequence of error
