Join the Nusura IRCA Assessor Network

Nusura Consulting Inc. welcomes expressions of interest from qualified professionals across Canada to prepare Impact of Race and Culture Assessments (IRCAs) and Enhanced Pre-Sentence Reports (EPSRs) as independent contractors.

We welcome experienced IRCA/EPSR practitioners and professionals with relevant assessment, research, interviewing and report-writing backgrounds.

Who May Apply

Prior IRCA/EPSR experience is preferred, but is not required to express interest. Social work registration is not the only qualifying professional background.

What Working With Nusura Involves

Lawyers retain Nusura and are its clients of record. Nusura manages intake, engagement agreements, assessor assignments, report review, revisions, delivery and invoicing. Contractors are paid under their agreements with Nusura.

Contracted assessors:

• Undertake assignments through Nusura, following the agreed scope, procedures and communication arrangements.
• Conduct interviews, review records and complete relevant research and analysis.
• Prepare reports using Nusura’s required format and participate in review and revisions.
• Protect confidential information, maintain secure records and meet agreed deadlines.

Coordination and report review preserve assessors’ independent professional opinions and conclusions.

These are independent contractor arrangements, not employment. Assignments are not guaranteed.

Recruitment privacy notice

Nusura Consulting Inc. collects your contact details, qualifications, professional background, assessment experience, jurisdictions served, availability, along with submission and security metadata such as your IP address, to review your suitability for independent contractor opportunities and communicate with you about your expression of interest.

Submitting an expression of interest does not guarantee selection or assignments. Do not provide confidential reports or client-identifiable information.

Applications are collected and initially stored through Nusura’s WordPress website. This initial form does not accept document uploads. Shortlisted applicants may be asked to provide a CV and additional information through a separate secure process. Submitted answers are transferred manually to a restricted folder in Nusura’s Google Workspace; Google Drive is Nusura’s primary long-term recruitment record. Temporary WordPress records are retained until transfer is verified and any failed transfers are resolved. Recruitment records are kept separate from client assessment records. Access is limited to Nusura’s Principal Consultant and administrative support specifically designated for recruitment. Hosting and storage providers process information to operate these services and may process information outside Canada. Nusura does not publish applicant profiles or sell recruitment information.

For unsuccessful applicants, the retention period is up to 12 months after the documented recruitment decision, followed by deletion from active recruitment records, unless applicable requirements or a documented legal obligation require longer retention. This schedule applies to WordPress, transferred recruitment copies and related exports or working copies. Deletion is managed manually; it is not an automatic WordPress purge. Backup copies may remain until overwritten or expired under the applicable backup schedule and are not used for further recruitment. Relevant information for selected contractors may become part of their contractor records. If you separately select the optional future-opportunities consent, Nusura may instead retain your application and any CV subsequently provided through the separate secure process for up to 24 months after the documented recruitment decision to consider you for future independent contractor opportunities. This consent is optional, is unchecked by default, does not affect review of your current expression of interest and may be withdrawn by contacting info@nusuraconsulting.com.

You may request access or correction, ask about information handling, or withdraw your expression of interest and consent, subject to applicable requirements. Contact info@nusuraconsulting.com and identify your request as Assessor Network recruitment privacy.
