JOB Duties

The Indigenous Liaison Officer position is an essential component of the Indigenous Continuum of Care. Indigenous Liaison Officers interpret and communicate Indigenous offender behaviour, treatment needs, and progress to the Case Management Team for inclusion in correctional/healing plans to promote the safe release of Indigenous offenders and to reduce the recidivism rate. They develop and deliver Indigenous interventions and establish a link with the offenders and Elders to provide them with information regarding cultural/spiritual programming, activities, and resources, fostering a positive Indigenous cultural environment.

The Indigenous Community Liaison Officer position is a critical component of the Indigenous Continuum of Care. Indigenous Community Liaison Officers provide the link between the community and the offender. They assist the Case Management Team in identifying community contacts needed to assist the offender prior to release and upon release. They build relationships with community agencies. Indigenous Initiatives is committed to providing stability in these positions in order to make continued progress toward our commitments.
