Nova Scotia Health Authority is a respected academic health sciences centre located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, providing tertiary and primary care for two million children, youth, adults, and families each year across the Atlantic region.
We have a team of approximately 4000 employees, physicians, volunteers, and learners at sites across Nova Scotia. People build careers with Nova Scotia Health Authority with our focus on training and mentorship opportunities.
We recognize each other's talent and celebrate our successes. We collaborate in modern facilities or virtually from home, align our work to our values, and enjoy access to enhanced benefits and wellness programs.
Promoting an anti-racist environment, and calling out discrimination as we work and provide care, is important to us. We are located in Mi'kma'ki, the unceded and ancestral territory of the Mi'kmaq people.
We have the highest percentage of people with disabilities in the country. Nova Scotia has the highest proportions of transgender and non-binary people than any other province or territory in the country.
We are active in our work to eliminate discrimination, but have more work to do to build that trust, acknowledge our biases, and reduce the barriers our diverse communities face.
We want Nova Scotia Health Authority to be a safe and supportive space of equity and belonging in the care we provide and the employment we offer.
