We are committed to providing an inclusive and barrier-free work environment, starting with the hiring process. If you need to be accommodated during any phase of the evaluation process, please use the Contact information below to request specialized accommodation. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.
When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.
Candidates will be assessed through a continuous intake model. Pools will be adjusted regularly to reflect the addition of fully assessed candidates.
The area of selection is tailored to Indigenous Peoples. Candidates must self-declare as belonging to the listed employment equity group to determine if they are in the tailored area of selection.
The term "Indigenous Peoples" aligns with international usage and, in this job advertisement, replaces the legislative term " Aboriginal peoples" that appears in the Employment Equity Act and the Employment Equity Regulations. Prior to appointment, Indigenous Peoples who self-declare will have to complete and sign the Affirmation of Indigenous Identity Form (AIIF). In the context of this process, self-identifying as Indigenous means self-identifying as First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Canada.

The federal public service is transitioning to a common hybrid work model that supports sharing in-person experiences that are essential to cohesive, collaborative and high-performing organization while continuing to provide flexibility to support offsite work. At an individual level, this is captured in annually reviewed work arrangements with the on-going objective to balance operational requirements with employee individual circumstances and work preference.
In the context of Employment and Social Development Canada’s mandate, most positions are identified as either onsite or hybrid (combination of onsite and offsite work). At ESDC, employees who fall within the hybrid work category report onsite a minimum of two days per week (40% of their regular work schedule), as determined by operational requirements. On an exceptional basis, a predominately offsite work arrangement may be possible. Prior to appointment, the hiring manager will discuss with the successful candidate(s) the options and/or specifics as it pertains to the work arrangement.
Where operationally feasible, ESDC also supports flexibility related to the work schedule including, a compressed work week, varying start and end times, and leave with income averaging.
