Indigenous Support Worker

Nuu-chah-nulth/Coast Salish · North Vancouver, British Columbia · $66,518 annually

applies via makeafuture.applytoeducation.com

Verdict

The posting is from a verified, legitimate First Nations organization (Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council) with an active careers section and a real online application system. However, there is a notable geographic mismatch: the employer is headquartered in Port Alberni, BC, but the posting claims a North Vancouver location without explanation. This discrepancy, combined with the lack of a physical mailing address in the application instructions, raises moderate concern about whether the role is genuinely based in Vancouver or if the location is misrepresented. The salary, job title, and application method are otherwise reasonable and legitimate.
