    Records Coordinator
    Government of Northwest Territories


    Location: Yellowknife
    Compensation: $84,845 - $101,361

    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.

    The North is a special blend of innovation and tradition. In many communities across the NWT, northerners still trap, hunt, fish and craft to generate an income. Living and working in many of our communities provide unique opportunities to learn about traditional living and on the land survival from Indigenous elders.  Our communities are small, but filled with a wealth of tradition, diversity, and warm welcoming community members open to sharing their cultures and experiences. In contrast, the economic development opportunities combined with continued care for our land and an evolving understanding of changing climates, provide a unique platform for innovative and skilled development, unparalleled in many other regions.
