Department Information
The Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority (NTHSSA) offers challenging and exciting careers in health and social services delivery and administration in Canada’s North. The Territorial Authority has service locations in communities across the territory and a staff of more than 1,600 serving over 43,000 residents of the NWT and 5,900 residents of the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut. Challenging work, welcoming communities, and expanded opportunities are some of the benefits offered to employees of the NTHSSA.
Job Information
The Community Wellness Worker is a member of the Primary Community Care (PCC) Team and therefore plays a key role in striving to ensure that client needs are met through culturally relevant and appropriate education, screening, intake, assessment, supportive counselling, planning, referral, and aftercare related to cultural identity, mental health/wellness, substance use/misuse, and healthy families/family violence. This involves working with various community groups and stakeholders, Indigenous leaders and the public including a diverse population (Elders, adults, adolescents, children, and families). The incumbent works collaboratively, and in partnership with other social and medical professionals, as well as organizations and professionals outside of the health and social services system in the community and region (i.e., Community Counsellors, Child and Youth Counsellors, Community Health Representatives, staff from Indigenous organizations, Local Governments, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Social Workers, Justice and Education Departments, etc.) to promote wellness to residents of the NWT. Home visits and community-based presentations (30% of the time) will require the incumbent to carry 5-15 lbs. of presentation supplies and aids to the location of the presentations in all climactic conditions (private homes, schools, health centre). The incumbent may be expected to walk to the sites on a daily basis with exposure to various weather conditions when moving between the office and locations for public presentations and home visits.
