With one of the fastest growing and youngest populations in Canada, Nunavut is a dynamic, vibrant territory, committed to becoming an even better place for future generations. As a government, we are strengthening our unique model of governance - one that integrates Inuit societal values, promotes use of the Inuktut language, achieves a representative public service, and collaborates with partners to achieve the promise of Nunavut. Successful applicants will enjoy a competitive salary, medical and dental benefits, a defined benefit pension plan, relocation privileges and opportunities for training and career advancement.

Under the direction of the Manager of Early Childhood Education Programs, the incumbent will deliver and develop ECE curriculum using diverse instructional strategies and the Brightspace (D2L) learning platform. They will be responsible for delivering courses and contributing to the development of programming. The incumbent will provide early childhood education curriculum expertise to students and incorporate examples of ECE programming in Nunavut into classroom instruction.

The role also involves assisting the Manager in organizing and coordinating the ECE program and schedule, including student practicums and on-site evaluations. Additionally, the incumbent will support student recruitment, registration, and educational counselling. Some travel is required, as the Applied ECE Certificate is delivered in communities outside of Iqaluit.

The successful candidate will hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education or a related field (e.g., Education, Psychology, Social Work), along with a minimum of two years’ experience teaching adults at the post-secondary level, and at least two years of professional experience in early childhood development (Nunavut experience preferred).

A Master’s or PhD in Early Childhood Education would be a strong asset. Fluency in both written and oral Inuktut, along with a deep understanding of Inuit cultural traditions, would be a definite asset.
