  • Assist in the maintenance and development of the client feedback information management system (PSLS) data collection tools and databases, ensuring that client feedback is documented, the status of investigation and resolution is monitored, and activities and outcomes are analyzed and reported for accountability and improvement purposes.
  • Serve as a liaison between patients/families and the organization and the community, with a focus on Indigenous patients/families and Indigenous communities, assisting patients/families to know and understand their rights and responsibilities and to navigate through the organization's processes.
  • Remain current on relevant legislation, regulations, standards, and common law, collaborating with other departments such as Legal Services, Information, Access & Privacy, and Risk Management.
  • Provide and facilitate education opportunities for key stakeholders and staff about the unique experiences and priorities of Indigenous patients/families and the requirement of enhancing cultural safety and humility throughout complaints processes.

  • Comprehensive knowledge of Indigenous cultural safety and humility within health services contexts and completion of training in Indigenous cultural safety and trauma-informed practice.
  • Preference will be given to candidates who identify as Indigenous, including First Nations, Métis, or Inuit.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of pertinent laws and legislation, including the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Patient Care Quality Review Board Act, and the Residents' Bill of Rights.
  • Demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of Indigenous worldviews and perspectives of health and wellness and/or demonstrated allyship.
  • Demonstrated proficient knowledge of Indigenous cultural safety and humility within health services contexts.
