Company
KASPRE Consulting Inc.
Employment Type
Part-Time Contract
Location & Work Arrangement
Remote or Hybrid Remote, with potential access to Path CoWork, Regina, SK, depending on location and preference.
Pay Range
$65-100 per hour depending on qualifications and experience.
The Indigenous Engagement Consultant will help KASPRE design and deliver engagement processes that are respectful, culturally safe, relationship-based, and responsive to the communities and people involved.
This role requires more than knowledge of engagement techniques. We are looking for someone who understands the historical and contemporary experiences of Indigenous peoples in Canada and recognizes how colonial policies, residential schools, the Sixties Scoop, displacement, discrimination, systemic barriers,
and other experiences continue to shape relationships with governments, institutions, and service systems today.
The successful candidate will bring strong listening skills, diplomacy, cultural humility, and the ability to communicate in ways that are respectful, thoughtful, and appropriate to the context.
You will work alongside KASPRE’s consulting team to help ensure Indigenous perspectives, community knowledge, lived experience, and Indigenous ways of knowing are meaningfully reflected in how specific projects and project elements are designed, carried out, interpreted, and communicated.
What You’ll Be Doing
Depending on the project, responsibilities may include:
- Supporting the design and delivery of Indigenous and community engagement processes.
- Advising project teams on culturally safe, respectful, and appropriate approaches to engagement.
- Helping develop engagement plans that recognize the distinct histories, governance structures, protocols, priorities, and circumstances of different Indigenous communities and organizations.
- Supporting interviews, sharing circles, focus groups, community meetings, workshops, and other forms of engagement.
- Developing interview guides, discussion guides, workshop materials, surveys, and other engagement tools using clear, respectful, and culturally appropriate language.
- Reviewing reports, presentations,
communications, and other project materials for tone, language, cultural safety, and alignment with KASPRE’s Walking Together Commitments.
- Helping project teams understand the historical and contemporary context that may influence community perspectives, participation, or trust.
- Supporting engagement with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, community leaders, Indigenous governments, service providers, and community members where appropriate.
- Listen carefully to community feedback and help identify themes without losing the meaning, nuance, or context behind what participants have shared.
- Supporting the preparation of engagement summaries and reports that accurately and respectfully reflect participant perspectives.
- Advising KASPRE teams on relationship-building, engagement protocols, and culturally respectful practices.
- Supporting broader KASPRE consulting projects where the individual’s skills, experience, and interests are relevant.
What We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who understands that meaningful Indigenous engagement is built through relationships, trust, respect, listening, and accountability.
You are diplomatic and thoughtful in how you communicate. You understand that language matters and can recognize when wording, assumptions, or approaches may unintentionally create harm, reinforce stereotypes, or make people feel unheard.
You are comfortable working with people who may have very different experiences or perspectives, and you can navigate sensitive conversations in a calm, supportive manner.
You understand that Indigenous peoples, Nations, communiti
