We are proud to support our patients, families and communities and are grateful for the generous donor support we receive.
Promoting an anti-racist environment, and calling out discrimination as we work and provide care, is important to us. We are located in Mi'kma'ki, the unceded and ancestral territory of the Mi'kmaq people. Working in Mi'kma'ki and providing care to those across Atlantic Canada is a shared privilege with the original inhabitants who have lived here for many thousands of years prior to colonization. There are 13 First Nation communities across Nova Scotia, and more than 50 historic African Nova Scotian communities who also have a long, deep, and complex history dating back over years. We have the highest percentage of people with disabilities in the country. Nova Scotia has the highest proportions of transgender and non-binary people than any other province or territory in the country. We are active in our work to eliminate discrimination, but have more work to do to build that trust, acknowledge our biases and reduce the barriers our diverse communities face. We want IWK Health to be a safe and supportive space of equity and belonging in the care we provide and the employment we offer. We welcome all interested persons who self-identify as Indigenous, Black/African Nova Scotians, Persons of Colour, Immigrants/Newcomers, Persons with Disabilities, 2SLGBTQIA+ to apply to support our goal for our workforce to be representative of the patients, families, and communities that we care for at all job levels.
The Opportunity
Genetic counsellors are health professionals with specific training in the field of genetics requiring a Master of Science degree in genetic counselling. Genetic counsellors provide information, support and counselling to individuals and families who have genetic disorders or birth defects or who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions. As a result of their in-depth training, genetic counsellors are an integral part of the medical genetics team. They greatly enhance clinical genetic service delivery in both the team setting and as independent practitioners of healthcare. Genetic counsellors also serve as educators, patient advocates, and genetic expertise resources for health professionals.
The Maritime Medical Genetics Service at IWK Health is the only provider of comprehensive genetics service in the Maritime Provinces. The Genetic Counsellor provides care at the IWK, as well as virtual care to outlying regions and outreach clinics to PEI, and NB. Our patient population includes prenatal, pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations.
