Job Summary:

Reporting to the Supervisor of Kinship/Foster Care, the Athabasca Tribal Council is seeking a culturally grounded and passionate advocate to serve as the Band Designate for ATC Child and Family Services. This dual-role ensures Indigenous children and youth in care remain connected to their identity, culture, community, and Nation—regardless of placement. The Band Designate supports caregivers in creating culturally safe environments that reflect each child’s traditions and values. As Band Designate, the role works in partnership with the child’s First Nation—as defined under the Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act—to ensure Nation involvement and cultural guidance in all key decisions. This position collaborates closely with Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and Fort McMurray 468 First Nation to support children in care across Alberta and Canada, including those in kinship and foster placements.

Duties and Responsibilities:

· Build culturally supportive relationships with children and youth in care.

· Mentor and guide caregivers to include language, traditions, and teachings in the home

· Promote and coordinate access to cultural/community events for children.

· Support land-based activities like medicine picking, ceremonies, beading, and more.

· Act as Band Designate for ACFN and FMFN468 children in care across Alberta or out-of-province.

· Engage in case planning and consultations, advocating for cultural identity and reunification when possible.

· Help with INAC registration, band membership, and genogram development to reconnect children with family.

· Review and respond to legal documents; attend court and consult Chief and Council when required.

· Maintain detailed records on legal status, placement, cultural support, and caregiver involvement.

· Support the development of the Family Well-being Law and cultural programming within ATC.

· Participate in ATC and community events, gatherings, and celebrations as a cultural representative.

· Perform other related duties and responsibilities as assigned to support organizational objectives.

Qualifications and Skills:

· Experience working with Indigenous communities is highly valued and central to this role.

· Degree in human services, social work, or related field considered an asset.

· Knowledge of Cree or Dene is considered an asset.

· Demonstrated ability to manage a diverse caseload while effectively prioritizing tasks and responsibilities.

· Proficient in computer use, with strong communication skills and the ability to build supportive, collaborative relationships with children, caregivers, and professionals

Requirements:

· Clear Criminal Record Check.

· Clear Child Intervention Record Check.

· Class 5 Driver’s License with Clear Drivers Abstract.

· Availability to work occasional evenings and weekends.

Expected hours: 37.5 per week
