Mi'kmaw Indigenous Patient Navigator

Halifax, Canada Nova Scotia Health Authority Full time
Company : IWK Health

Req ID:
Department/Program: Equity and Belonging , Professional Practice

Type of Employment: Permanent Hourly FT ( % FTE)
Start Date: ASAP
Union Status: Non-union , Management/Non Union Bargaining Unit
Compensation: $ 36. - $ 45. /hour
Closing Date : Open until filled

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 employees, physicians, volunteers and learners at sites across . 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 , and enjoy access to enhanced 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 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 Mi’kmaw and Indigenous Patient Navigator (MIPN) supports access and coordination of services for Mi'kmaw Indigenous patients (i.e.: discharge planning). The MIPN acts as a resource for Indigenous clients to access culturally safe and client centered care. The MIPN facilitates relationship building between Mi'kmaw Indigenous community health programs, Nova Scotia Health (NSH)/IWK Health, provincial health system partners, and services and community sites/clinics within the zone. The MIPN provides regular feedback and advice to senior leadership, zonal partners and Indigenous consultants around improving access to appropriate care. The MIPN provides support and advocacy for Indigenous clients and their families by facilitating and coordinating access to health care services, cultural/spiritual needs, and networking with the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw and health systems and community partners that provide services to Mi’kmaw and Indigenous people. The MIPN will collaborate with Mi’kmaw and Indigenous clients and their families to provide guidance and advocacy as they navigate the multitude of treatments, services, and potential barriers throughout their health care journey. The MIPN provides consultative and advisory services to Indigenous patients referred to NSH/IWK programs and services by providing cultural interpretation and/or health literacy translation services and by supporting culturally competent and safe practice (e.g., access, system barriers, and navigation challenges). Supports Mi'kmaw Indigenous patients in communications with physicians, nurses, and other frontline care staff. Patient navigation is recognized as a key component of an integrated system and an effective way to improve the delivery of person-centred care and clinical efficiencies. The focus of the MIPN is to overcome barriers to timely and culturally safe care, facilitate coordination of care, and enhance the delivery of high quality, culturally safe, trauma informed and person-centred care
