• Notice: Due to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Interim Final Ruling, Nimiipuu
Health has developed and approved a policy requiring COVID-19 vaccination of current and prospective

providing evidence as such), and if not, the means by which a possible waiver may be granted (either by

PAYSCALE DISCLAIMER
Nimiipuu Health utilizes PayScale to help determine pay for positions. PayScale provides market data for localities similar to
Lewiston, ID. An individual’s years of relevant experience is then compared to what others are paying individuals to perform that
position with different years of experience in that field.
PayScale conducts salary surveys to collect a wide range of pay and job profile information. This information is used by Nimiipuu
Health to receive a fair market valuation report to compare with what others are paying for positions in organizations (similar to
Nimiipuu Health). Nimiipuu Health does not therefore have a set pay grade and step system that many of the other entities of the
Nez Perce Tribe utilize. Any inquiry with regards to salary is then given in a range from minimum experience and would be
different given the years of relevant experience to any given position.

Aside from our internal and external job opportunities, there are occasional temporary vacancies.
If you are interested in joining our list of active jobseekers, please submit a complete application

accordingly and referred to temporary appointments based on education, credentials, and

license with an insurable record under the Tribe’s policy, in which a motor vehicle report is

*In compliance with the administrative actions dated January 10, 2017, all vacancies will be
