Role

If you enjoy engaging with public stakeholders and Indigenous communities, analyzing and synthesizing data, and contributing to improving the lives of children, youth, and families in Alberta we have an opportunity for you as an engagement analyst with the Ministry of Children’s Services.  This position is with the Stakeholder and Community Engagement unit within the Indigenous Partnerships and Strategic Services Division. The successful candidate will be reporting to the Manager, Engagement Coordination and Research.

The Indigenous Partnerships and Strategic Services division (IPaSS) provides a range of supports to Children's Services, from engagement coordination, ministry strategic policy, legislation, regulations, and policy and program reviews to strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities, leaders, and organizations to improve outcomes for Indigenous children and families, to overall support to program and delivery divisions in  advancing priorities to enhance programs and services to Alberta's children, youth, and families. 
 

This position will play a critical role in the success of ministry engagement projects.

The analyst will contribute to the collaborative development of Strategic Engagement Plans by providing advice on data collection and analysis. In addition, the analysist will support the implementation of engagement plans through meeting or event facilitation, logistics coordination, and material development and distribution.
