There is a variety of ways to apply for employment opportunities with the North Eastman Health Association.
For site-specific information regarding how to apply, contact our Human Resources Assistant hr@neha.mb.ca or call 204-753-3122 or our toll-free line 1-877-753-2012 ext. 242.
Many healthcare employers accept resumes or applications for available employment vacancies.
The majority of sites do not keep applications on file, partly because of the large amount of jobs they are responsible
for managing. You have to ensure that you submit an application for each vacancy you are interested in applying for.
Voluntary Self-Declaration
Aboriginal applicants are encouraged to voluntarily self-declare as being of Aboriginal descent when
they are submitting an application for any position in NEHA.
There are two ways that you can choose to do this:
- You can indicate on your resume or cover letter that you are an Aboriginal person, or
- You can complete a Voluntary Self-Declaration Form, which is attached the application form when you apply.
Why should I self-identify as being of Aboriginal descent?
We acknowledge that some people are hesitant to indicate that they are of Aboriginal ancestry on their
applications due to past difficulties/challenges they have faced in regards to gaining employment or
their experiences with programs such as employment equity or affirmative action. In an effort to recognize
potential uncertainty you can be assured that this information is being used to:
- Understand where Aboriginal applicants are successful at gaining employment.
- Assist NEHA to track the number of Aboriginal people that have applied, were interviewed
and hired within the healthcare system.
- Provide data to identify gaps in Aboriginal participation that can provide a target for future
initiatives to ensure greater Aboriginal participation in those areas (i.e. training partnerships,
mentoring, and internship programs).
- Identify people that may want to participate in career fairs
and other events to assist us in promoting their professions to Aboriginal youth.
The objective of the Voluntary Self-Declaration Form is to:
- Encourage applicants to self-identify as being a person of Aboriginal ancestry.
- Help individuals to indicate which groups they belong to as an Aboriginal person.
- Provide managers/supervisors with a tool that can help them identify the Aboriginal candidates.
If you have any additional questions regarding voluntary self-declaration, feel free to contact us by e-mail at hr@neha.mb.ca.
