The KIM team invites you to apply for the following exciting opportunity!

Established in 2019, Keewatinohk Inniniw Minoayawin Inc. (KIM) is a First Nations-led and governed health transformation organization working with and on behalf of northern Manitoba First Nations. KIM brings Nations together to strengthen community wellness, advance self-determined health systems, and shape the future of First Nations health.

The Minoayawin Mobile Outreach Program (MMOP) provides a bundle of services to unhoused residents of Thompson and surrounding First Nations. The program offers trauma-informed, low- to no-barrier health care grounded in anti-Indigenous racism approaches that honour and give equal validity to Indigenous ways of knowing. MMOP promotes physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing in ways that uphold the respect and dignity of unhoused community members living in Thompson, Manitoba, and surrounding First Nations.

Reporting to the Director of Northern Programs, the Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) will be an integral member of an integrated, multidisciplinary health services team, providing excellent, Indigenous-specific racism-free community treatment and care to community members accessing the MMOP. Working in conjunction with primary care providers (physicians and nurse practitioners) and allied health providers (Elders, counsellors, social workers, peer support workers), the RN or LPN will support members’ access to and experience of primary care, withdrawal management services, and Indigenous-specific racism-free care provided by the MMOP. Daily work will involve a combination of outreach and in-clinic work, with some administrative and preparation work performed at a central location and mobile and outreach services performed in and around Thompson. The working schedule is generally five days per week, Monday to Friday, with some evening and/or weekend shifts for outreach clinics or events based on programming needs, and out-of-town travel may be required 1–2 times per month.

We are seeking an RN or LPN passionate about promoting health and wellness equity for First Nations people living in Thompson, Manitoba. The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team providing both outreach-based and clinic-based physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness and harm reduction services. These services give equal validity to Indigenous and Western knowledge bases and practices, and are strength-based, trauma-informed, person-centred, and grounded in Indigenous harm reduction, contributing to a health system that is accessible, free of Indigenous-specific racism, and truly meets the needs and desires of unhoused community members of Thompson and surrounding communities.

The Registered or Licensed Practical Nurse will be responsible to:

Establish relationships with members and provide culturally safe, kind, and empathetic support; support well-being and increase access to holistic health supports and withdrawal management supports.
Provide primary health care services, including clinical nursing, harm reduction services, point of care testing, and health promotion and prevention for members of all ages within a multidisciplinary team of nurses, peer support workers, social workers, physicians, Elders, and Knowledge Keepers.
Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team, educational resources, and other health care providers and community partners to provide member-centred care and education.

The successful candidate will possess the following qualifications:

Baccalaureate degree or diploma in Nursing or Licensed Practical Nursing.
Minimum of one year of experience in primary care nursing or similar experience in a location that serves First Nations community members and/or communities with multiple barriers to health and wellness equity.
Currently practising and registered with the College of Nurses of Manitoba.
Demonstrated skill in the use of medical equipment and supplies appropriate to clinic nursing, along with evaluating equipment and making recommendations regarding new equipment purchases.
Comprehensive knowledge of other health care, allied health, peer support, and people-with-lived-experience disciplines and their roles in member care.
Demonstrated ability to critically read and use current health research in evidence-based practice and share information with members of the multidisciplinary team in areas of expertise.
Experience with opioid agonist therapy (OAT) and other harm reduction practices is desired.
Ability to deal effectively with conflict, manage aggressive behaviour, and use non-violent crisis intervention and behavioural management techniques.
Ability to conduct a nursing assessment of Nation members that includes physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of overall wellness.
Ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing.
Flexible, team-oriented, and committed to respectful, collaborative problem-solving in a team environment.
Demonstrated ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work.
Demonstrated commitment to culturally safe, trauma-informed, member-centred, harm reduction, and recovery-oriented practices.
Completion of a cultural competency course or willingness to participate is required.
Experience and knowledge of First Nations Peoples, Indigenous Peoples, and their cultures is desired.
The ability to speak one of the Northern First Nations languages is desirable.
