  • A degree or diploma in social work, healthcare, or a relevant field (e.g., Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse).
  • Two years of related experience working in a healthcare environment.
  • Demonstrated knowledge, experience, and understanding of Indigenous people and their culture.
  • Knowledge of federal, provincial, territorial, regional, and Indigenous organizations mandated to provide health services.

Prior experience working with Indigenous populations and proficiency in one or more Indigenous languages are considered assets in this role.
