SENIOR AND JUNIOR STAFF LAWYER 1-Year Term Contract Salary range: $82,830.09 - $152,819.62 per year (based on Relevant Experience under Nova Scotia Legal Aid’s Staff Lawyer Pay Plan Policy) Closing date: August 1, 2024 at 4:30 pm BACKGROUND Nova Scotia Legal Aid and Sipekne'katik First Nation are partnering on an exciting new initiative of addressing the current barriers Sipekne'katik community members face when accessing legal services outside of Community. Nova Scotia Legal Aid is working with Sipekne'katik to provide legal services and educational initiatives by opening a legal aid office on Sipekne'katik First Nation. Sipekne’katik First Nation is a Mi’kmaq community with over 3000 band members located in Hants County, Nova Scotia. Sipekne’katik is one of the seven geographic districts of Mi’kma’ki – the ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq that encompasses Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland, and Maine. Sipekne’katik is a community rooted in the traditions and history of its ancestors, taking pride in their Mi’kmaw culture, language and way of life. Sipekne’katik includes communities of Indian Brook (now called Sipekne’katik), New Ross, Pennal, Dodd’s Lot, Hammonds Plains, and Grand Lake. Sipekne’katik is a vibrant, growing community. Sipekne’katik strives to provide exciting cultural, educational, social, and many other opportunities for all its band members. The Sipekne’katik Band is focused on improving the economic sustainability of the community. Through a strategic plan and sound economic initiatives, the Sipekne’katik Band is improving the standard of living for its community and all their band members by providing essential goods, services and supports that are developed and delivered by the community. STATEMENT OF INTENTION These positions are designated to applicants who identify as Mi’kmaw or Indigenous Persons. Lived experience in a historical Mi’kmaw Community is an asset for this position. However, we encourage all applicants to apply. We value a workplace where diversity, in all its forms, is encouraged and recognized for its contribution to a more creative, rewarding workplace that is representative, at all job levels, of the people we serve. We welcome applications from all individuals belonging to equity-deserving groups, such as African Nova Scotian or Black, New Canadian or Immigrant, Racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, Persons with Disabilities, and Women. These applications will be considered if a suitable candidate is not found within the Mi’kmaq or Indigenous community. If you are a member of one of these equity populations, you are encouraged to self-identify on your electronic application, cover letter or résumé/C.V. We are committed to accommodating those with disabilities at any stage of the hiring process, so please advise of the required accommodations.
