This is a meaningful moment to join Millbrook First Nation, where community wellness is grounded in culture, connection, and a deep commitment to caring for the whole person. As a Nurse Practitioner, you will play a central role in delivering holistic, culturally safe primary care to individuals and families. Reporting to the Director of Health & Social Services, you will work within a collaborative, interdisciplinary team that supports the full spectrum of health, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.

You build relationships with empathy, respect, and integrity, creating a space where patients feel heard and supported. You are committed to culturally safe care and approach your work with curiosity, openness, and a mindset of continuous learning.
In a dynamic, community-based environment, you will work closely with physicians and a diverse care team, including community health, mental health and addictions, home care, and nutrition services, contributing to coordinated, person- and family-centred care. Whether supporting chronic disease management, promoting wellness, or guiding preventative care, your work is grounded in trust and meaningful connection.

Our Process & Application Details
What to Expect
Hiring processes often reflect systems that don’t work for everyone. At Placemaking 4G, we believe recruitment should be relational and affirming. We’re working with the organization to ensure candidates are respected, informed, and supported throughout.
We closely review all applications and read each cover letter (we promise).
If you are selected as a top candidate, expect an invitation to chat with a Lead Placemaker from P4G. This is someone who treats the recruitment process non-traditionally. We want to get to know what inspires you.
Selected candidates will proceed to a virtual interview with the Lead P4G Placemaker and 2-3 organizational representatives.
Finalists may participate in a second-round interview or skills activity (virtual or in-person).
P4G will check employment references and assist in presenting an offer to the successful candidate.
Application Details
Applications will be accepted until the successful candidate is selected.
Please include a cover letter that speaks to your experience and offers a glimpse of your personality.
Wela'lin!
