Work That Matters, People Who Care.

WHAT'S THE ROLE

Creating meaningful employment opportunities for Indigenous Peoples takes more than recruitment. It requires strong community relationships, consistent candidate engagement and the coordination needed to turn employment commitments into results.

As Indigenous Employment Coordinator, you will help connect Indigenous candidates and communities with employment, training and career-development opportunities across our operations in Canada. You’ll support community outreach, participate in events and career fairs, work directly with candidates, and coordinate the programs and activities that help people move from opportunity to employment.

You’ll also play an important role behind the scenes, keeping programs organized, maintaining accurate records and supporting reporting for internal teams, clients and external stakeholders.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Support relationships with Indigenous communities, organizations and employment partners to connect candidates with current and future opportunities.
• Participate in community events, cultural gatherings, career fairs and other outreach activities that promote employment opportunities and strengthen community connections.
• Support Indigenous recruitment activities, including candidate outreach, initial screening, interviews, onboarding and helping new hires prepare for their first work rotation.
• Maintain engagement schedules and coordinate recruitment and community outreach activities with internal and external stakeholders.
• Coordinate training and development programs, including registrations, schedules, placements, rotations, mentor assignments and participant documentation.
• Follow up with mentors and participants and ensure program feedback and supporting documentation are completed and maintained.
• Maintain accurate employment and program records and support timely reporting for internal and external stakeholders.
• Help develop communications that promote employment initiatives, community activities and recruitment opportunities.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with people but is equally comfortable managing the details that keep programs moving. You’re organized, approachable and a strong communicator who can move comfortably between a candidate conversation, a community event and the administrative follow-through required afterward.

• Relevant experience in recruitment, community relations, workforce development, operations or a similar role.
• Experience working with Indigenous Peoples and communities, along with an understanding of Indigenous history, cultures and community practices in Canada.
• Strong administrative and organizational skills, with the ability to coordinate schedules, programs, documentation and multiple priorities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to adapt your approach to candidates, community partners, internal teams and external stakeholders.
• The confidence and professional presence to represent the organization at community events, career fairs and stakeholder meetings.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain accurate records and support reporting requirements.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Post-secondary education in Business, Indigenous Studies, Hospitality, Social Work or a related field is an asset.
• A valid driver’s licence and the flexibility to travel to communities and project locations across Canada, including occasional evening or weekend events.
