The Keewatin Tribal Council is looking to fill several positions in Thompson, Manitoba, focusing on youth justice, residential school survivor support, cultural services, and housing management. Applications are being accepted until the roles are filled, with a final deadline of June 26, 2026 for some positions.
The council, which supports about 10,000 people across 11 northern First Nations, has posted openings for a Youth Justice Project Leader, a Resolution Support Worker, a Cultural Support Worker, and an Administrative Assistant for its Technical and Education Services. The Youth Justice Project Leader is a two-year, full-time role that will work with the Sovereign Yahthi Keewatin Nations on gang prevention and helping young people stay out of the justice system.
A Resolution Support Worker will provide mental health and emotional help to Indian Residential School survivors going through the Independent Assessment Process. The role is part of a broader effort to offer safe, respectful support in northern communities, where 18 residential schools once operated.
Separately, Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation, based in Nelson House about 80 kilometres west of Thompson, is advertising for a Director of Asset Management and an Interim Project Manager to work on housing projects. These jobs come as the federal government recently put $2.65 million toward fixing up 67 low-income housing units in Thompson for single parents with children, a project done with the council’s help.
Many of the positions offer competitive benefits and require travel across the region. Resumes for the council jobs can be sent to Lisa Beardy at [email protected]. For the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation housing roles, contact Lorna Hart, the interim executive director of human resources.
