Peguis First Nation is looking to fill five new job openings in late March 2026 to support community health, food security, and ongoing recovery efforts. These roles aim to strengthen local services for residents in the community, which is the largest First Nation in Manitoba.

The positions include a Director of Nursing at the Peguis Health Centre, which helps manage medical transportation and health benefits for members. Other openings include an Indigenous Food Sovereignty Coordinator to work on food security, a Community Event Coordinator, and a Youth Connect Community Mentor/Navigator to provide extra support for local youth.

The community is also hiring a Data Entry Clerk for the Flood Project. This role is part of the ongoing work following the 2022 flooding, which damaged hundreds of homes and displaced about 1,600 people in the area. Peguis First Nation has dealt with several major floods over the last twenty years and is currently pursuing a $1 billion lawsuit against federal and provincial governments regarding the damage caused by these repeated events.

Under the leadership of Chief Dr. Stan Bird, who has been in office since April 2023, the Peguis First Nation continues to work on long-term wellness priorities and safety planning. Those interested in any of these roles can find more information through Peguis First Nation Training & Employment. All applications should be sent to Delma McPherson, the Director of Human Resources, as noted on the official opportunities page.
