Please see Intent of the process and Organizational Needs.

Candidates must clearly demonstrate in the screening questionnaire how they meet the education and experience criteria listed in the Essential Qualifications and Asset Qualifications if applicable. Please note that stating that the requirement has been met, and/or listing past or current responsibilities, does not represent adequate substantiation. Rather, you must provide concrete examples that clearly illustrate how you meet the requirement. Résumés may be used as a secondary source to validate the qualifications described; comments such as "refer to my attached resume" will not be accepted and may result in your application being rejected.

Indeterminate employees at the same group and level, or equivalent may be considered for deployment, assignment/secondment prior to the assessment of other applicants.

Work environment

Please be advised this process will be used to staff positions in the new department of Indigenous Services Canada. The creation of Indigenous Services Canada is an important development in our renewed relationship with Indigenous peoples. These structural changes will allow our government to work more effectively with Indigenous partners to provide services that improve people’s day-to-day quality of life.

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) works collaboratively with partners to improve access to high quality services for First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Our vision is to support and empower Indigenous peoples to independently deliver services and address the socio-economic conditions in their communities.

The federal public service has adopted a common hybrid work model that will see employees work on site at least 2–3 days each week, or 40–60% of their regular schedule. Hybrid work is the future of the public service. A common hybrid work model will ensure coherence and equity across the federal government, providing public servants with regular opportunities to work with colleagues and partners in service to Canadians, while still having flexibility to work off site. This new model will apply to all of the core public administration.

Intent of the process

The intent is to staff this position via the Aboriginal Peoples Employment Program, which aims to strategically increase Aboriginal representation within the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch. As such, Organizational Needs may be applied and first consideration may be given to candidates self-identifyingas belonging to Aboriginal peoples.

A pool of qualified candidates will be established and may be used to staff similar term and/or permanent positions, actings, assignments/secondments, or deployments only in Saskatchewan.
