Testimonials

“Working for NOSP as a new SSW graduate has been nothing short of amazing. The team here is knowledgeable in various areas and always happy to speak and teach about the topic. If you need a resource for something, colleagues are quick to share theirs, allowing me to learn and expand my own resource library and find what works for me. I have learned so much and have become even more motivated for continued learning. I could not have asked for a better workplace as someone fresh to the field”

Samanta, Housing Coordinator (previous Family Support Worker)

“My partner and I are from Scotland. During a trip in 2010, we traveled to Wild Goose Lake Campground in Greenstone for what was supposed to be only one night. We loved it so much we ended up staying there for the rest of our vacation, before traveling back to Scotland. When we later moved to Canada from Scotland, that very same year, we immediately opted to return to Greenstone, staying at the Wild Goose Lake Campground until we could secure a rental. A month later, I was offered a part-time opportunity with NOSP and, within a year, I was working full-time with NOSP. Now, 12 years later, I am still working with NOSP and my partner and I are living on Wild Goose Lake. We really were meant to be here!”

Gillian (RAAM Addiction Counsellor; previous Adult Counsellor)

“As a recent hire here at NOSP, I am so happy to be a part of such a wonderful team of people. This team is filled with knowledgeable, friendly, caring staff who look out for the best interest of their coworkers and clients. I would highly recommend NOSP as a great place to work in the North, the people are the best plus the benefits, pension and vacation are a great perk too!”
