At Indigenous Services Canada, we work in collaboration with partners to improve access to high quality services for First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. Our vision is to support and empower Indigenous people so that they can independently provide services and address the different socio-economic conditions in their communities.

When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

Work environment

Committed to the well-being of our employees, we offer an open and respectful work environment, including many opportunities for learning, opportunities for advancement, competitive benefits, as well as flexible work schedules that promote work-life balance.

Indigenous cultures are at the heart of the department's mandate and broadening our horizons on them not only allows us to better fulfill our role, but also to become more aware of the history of First Nations, Métis and Inuit. That is why we recognize the importance for employees to deepen, share their knowledge and discover on this matter through workshops and awareness activities throughout the year.

The regional office is located in Amherst, a central city within the Maritime provinces located at 40 minutes from Moncton, NB. It stands out for the variety of its businesses, mainly family businesses, historic buildings and charming architecture. Amherst is known for its festivals and activities, which you will discover during the summer months. Located in Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Regional Office provide services to the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. This means support for 34 First Nations and 5 Inuit communities.

Do you live far from the regional office? You may be eligible for the relocation program for new employees and receive up to five thousand dollars ($5,000), under certain conditions.
