We are seeking a highly skilled and compassionate Indigenous Care Coordinator to join our Mental Health and Substance Use department at Northern Health Authority. As a key member of our care team, you will play a vital role in providing culturally safe and respectful care to Indigenous patients and families.
Under the direction of the Team Lead, you will contribute to the clinical design, implementation, and monitoring of individual Indigenous patient care plans. Your expertise will help maximize community support, cultural safety, and respectful care for Indigenous patients and families. You will work closely with our multi-disciplinary care team to provide services to Indigenous, Métis, and Inuit individuals throughout their engagement with acute and/or primary care services.
As an Indigenous Care Coordinator, you will facilitate the education and learning of the care team in areas such as understanding the services and supports available in local Indigenous communities, Indigenous approaches to wellness, trauma-informed care, cultural safety, and long-term discharge planning goals. You will collaborate with healthcare teams in First Nations communities and Métis Chartered communities to ensure that patient care is coordinated between Northern Health services and community services.
We are committed to providing exceptional health services for Northerners, and we believe that our Indigenous Care Coordinator will be a valuable addition to our team. If you are passionate about delivering culturally safe and respectful care to Indigenous patients and families, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
