There are nearly 40,000 Indigenous people in our Nation’s Capital, and Wabano serves over 15,000 of them every year. While you may think of Wabano primarily as a medical clinic, most clients come through doors to be part of our programs. From Elder teachings to Lunch and learns, from Cultural nights to Indigenous cultural safety training workshops, the Training and Education Department is the de facto cultural hub of Wabano.

Wabano is now looking for an experienced leader to create a new vision and structure for the Training and Quality Assurance department and oversee its success. If you are the right person for this role, you understand processes, people, and how they work in tandem for service excellence. You thrive equally on balancing budgets and balancing workflow (yours and your team’s). But most of all, you have the passion and drive to build strong teams with the right mix of skills to serve and transform the community.

As an organization that works with the Indigenous communities, it’s important that we provide opportunities to our communities first, so First Nations, Inuit, or Métis candidates will be given priority – please self-identify.

Wabano is now looking for a Housing Based Case Manager to be part of our “Home Team” working collaboratively within the Indigenous-specific coordinated access system in Ottawa. (See Appendix for more information on this system.)

We are looking for an individual that is inspired by the work of grassroots initiatives and is motivated to find innovative ways to foster rapport and use technology to streamline communication.

In this pivotal role, you will report directly to the Director of Administration, Communications, and Engagement. Your primary responsibility will revolve around conceptualizing and executing robust internal and external communication strategies. You will spearhead the development of print and online materials, orchestrate email marketing campaigns, oversee website maintenance and content creation, craft compelling press releases, produce and disseminate corporate videos and marketing collateral, create impactful presentation materials, and nurture internal communication channels.
