Description
Fraser Health is committed to working with First Nations, Metis and Inuit across the Fraser Salish region to plan and deliver culturally safe health services. We are thankful to the Honourable Dr. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond (Aki-Kwe) and the almost 9,000 Indigenous Peoples and health care staff and medical staff whose courage to share their stories and experiences helped shape the "In Plain Sight" report and the call to action needed for change. We are committed to working with the Ministry of Health to eliminate systemic racism in the health care sector in our province.

It is an exciting time as we are recruiting for our first ever Leader, Indigenous Recruitment and Retention to work with our Executive Director, Leadership & Talent and our Executive Director, Aboriginal Health, to support Fraser Health's mandate to increase Indigenous voices and contributions at all levels of our organization.

In this role, you will shape and build a robust Indigenous employment strategy, and maintain positive and active partnerships with Indigenous communities and organizations. You will also partner with teams dedicated to building talent pathways, and culturally safe and inclusive practices to increase retention and recruitment of Indigenous staff.

Here are some of the areas of responsibility:

Build and implement Indigenous focused retention and recruitment strategies that align with the Anti-Racism Action Plan and improve opportunities to welcome, attract, retain and champion Indigenous talent at Fraser Health.
Collaborate with Fraser Health leaders and other members of the Talent Acquisition team to promote opportunities for Indigenous candidates throughout the hiring and onboarding process.

Work with school districts, post-secondary institutions, Indigenous community organizations to establish encouraging programs in order to promote career avenues and to increase access to employment in health care for Indigenous Peoples.

Ensure that all marketing materials are inclusive and culturally safe for Indigenous applicants and employees.
Provide direction on Indigenous recruitment issues as well as establish career paths for future opportunities.
We are looking for you to have:

Confidence in being a self-starter for this new portfolio, and comfortable navigating through ambiguity as we build this new function at Fraser Health.

Energy and curiosity to ensure that we are always doing the right thing and challenging the status quo.
Creativity in bringing new ideas to the forefront as it relates to practices in equity, diversity, and inclusion for our Indigenous communities.

An authentic partnership approach that allows you to build trust and solid relationships both internally and externally
We also want to highlight that First Nations, Inuit, Metis or Aboriginal ancestry is regarded as directly relevant to the skills and knowledge for excellence in the position.
