ABOUT INUVIALUIT REGIONAL CORPORATION (IRC)
IRC was created in 1984 to represent the Inuvialuit and their rights and benefits obtained under one of Canada's oldest comprehensive land claim agreements. With assets over $1 billion, not including vast land holdings, IRC is responsible for corporate investment, land management, and a broad range of social, cultural, and economic programs and services benefiting Inuvialuit. Its subsidiaries have interests in grocery, manufacturing, property management, transportation, and significant dealings in the oil and gas industry.
Since its inception, IRC has experienced considerable growth, and its structure and operations have become increasingly complex. Combining local government and service delivery, community development, investment, and operating business divisions, all managed by a single back office, the organization has an array of complexities for the executive staff to navigate. There is an emphasis on fostering understanding, healing, and resilience in a region brimming with unique social challenges and immense potential for transformative change.
JOB SUMMARY
The Men's Wellness & Safety Attendant plays a vital role in ensuring a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all residents and staff within IRC’s Transitional Housing Addictions Recovery Program (THARP) facility.
Due to the gender‑specific, culturally grounded, and therapeutic nature of this Indigenous men’s recovery program, including participation in men’s teachings and ceremonies, the need for privacy in non‑co‑ed living spaces, and occasional solo supervision of male residents, this position is restricted to applicants who identify as male. This requirement is recognized as a bona fide occupational requirement (BFOR) under applicable human rights legislation to preserve the cultural, safety, and program integrity of gender‑specific services.
Working within a 24/7 rotational schedule, the Safety Worker provides continuous supervision of facility safety, conducts regular wellness checks, supports residents with daily routines, and responds to incidents using de-escalation and trauma-informed approaches.
This position is part of the frontline care team and reports directly to the Coordinator, Inuvik THARP, under the leadership of the Wellness Support Services Manager.
QUALIFICATIONS
Applicants must be/have:
-
Minimum high school diploma or equivalent.
-
Two (2) years of experience in a shelter, group home, residential, or community wellness setting preferred.
-
Certification in First Aid/CPR, Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI), Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and WHMIS (or willingness to obtain).
