Interim support. Lasting systems. Stronger administration.

Not just temp staffing. Something built to last.

You've probably worked with temporary staffing before. This is different. Traditional temp agencies fill a chair and move on. The Administrative Roots Service covers the role while assessing and strengthening it, leaving behind updated job descriptions, onboarding manuals, funding calendars, trained staff, and stronger systems.

We are specialized in First Nation administration, funded program environments, governance realities, and community-based service delivery. We understand ISC, FNHA, CMHC, and other funder obligations, and we make sure the program area is better positioned when we leave than when we arrived.

We Know What This Looks Like

  • Vacant Key Roles

    Band Manager, Housing Manager, Education Manager, Health Director, All key positions go vacant and the impact is immediate. Reports slip, services slow, and staff become overloaded.

  • Funding Agreement Risk

    Program delivery may be happening, but reporting, file standards, workplans, and eligible expense tracking may not be fully aligned with the funding agreement.

  • Burnout and Turnover

    Strong staff become overloaded when systems, role clarity, documentation, and supervisory supports have not kept pace with organizational growth.

  • Weak Onboarding

    New hires inherit a desk, files, and deadlines but not a clear orientation manual, workplan, or training pathway. The cycle repeats.

When we're done, you'll have more than you started with.

At the end of every assignment, the Nation should not only have had coverage during a vacancy. It should be better positioned after the transition. Depending on the scope of work, we leave behind an updated job description, a role orientation manual, a 30/60/90 day onboarding plan, a funding and reporting calendar, completed funding proposals or program reports, file and documentation templates, transition notes for the incoming staff person, and a capacity-building roadmap for the program area.
