    Information Access and Security Coordinator
    Government of Northwest Territories


    Location: Yellowknife, NT
    Compensation: The salary range for this position is from $44.16 per hour to $52.76 per hour (approximately $86,112 - $102,882) plus an annual Northern Allowance of $3,700.

    The GNWT's 5,000 public servants deliver programs and services to more than 44,000 Northwest Territories (NWT) residents through rewarding careers in one of our 11 Departments and 13 Agencies. The most common language spoken in the NWT is English, but the NWT has 11 official languages including French, English, Chipewyan, Cree, Gwich'in, Inuinnaqtun, Inuktitut, Inuvialuktun, North Slavey, South Slavey, and Tłįchǫ.

    Our employees live and work throughout the NWT in 33 communities ranging in size from less than 50 people in the NWT's smallest community of Kakisa to more than 20,000 in the capital city of Yellowknife.


    An Opportunity to Make a Difference

    Our public service is small in comparison to other Canadian jurisdictions. However, our territory's unique tri-lateral consensus government allows its public servants to work directly on programs and services that matter to northern residents.

    Our Senior Management teams are approachable with a strong appreciation for the importance of mentorship and professional growth- and given our small size, they are often just down the hall.
