IWK Health 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 IWK Health 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. We are proud to support our patients, families and communities and are grateful for the generous donor support we receive.
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. Working in Mi'kma'ki and providing care to those across Atlantic Canada is a shared privilege with the original inhabitants who have lived here for many thousands of years prior to colonization. There are 13 First Nation communities across Nova Scotia, and more than 50 historic African Nova Scotian communities who also have a long, deep, and complex history dating back over 400 years. 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 IWK Health to be a safe and supportive space of equity and belonging in the care we provide and the employment we offer. We welcome all interested persons who self-identify as Indigenous, Black/African Nova Scotians, Persons of Colour, Immigrants/Newcomers, Persons with Disabilities, 2SLGBTQIA+ to apply to support our goal for our workforce to be representative of the patients, families, and communities that we care for at all job levels.
*The Opportunity*
The Social Worker (Masters) is an integral member of the interprofessional health care team providing collaborative, holistic care with individuals, families, and/or communities. Social Workers are primarily concerned with the relationships between people and their environments which are essential to psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The social and structural determinants of health are embedded in social work theory and practice and are the focus for the dynamic and interactive process of engagement and care planning. Social work practice is grounded in the belief that all people have strengths and potential in areas of social emotional literacy, autonomy, and sense of purpose. Human Rights and social justice are the philosophical underpinnings of social work practice.
The Social Worker (Masters) practices at an advanced level and draws on a Biopsychosocial Social Justice approach to constructive solutions, effective support, and informed advocacy.
Healthcare social workers practice according to the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers Standards of Practice, Code of Ethics and the policies and procedures of IWK Health. In this role you will provide evening and weekend coverage to care areas within the Women's Newborn Health Program and Children's Health Program, including pediatric emergency department.

Shifts may include days, evenings, weekends, and holidays.
