Registered Nurse, Preventative Care and Wellness Clinics for Priority Populations

Part Time and Relief roles are available

**(**We welcome applications from Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) for this position. Responsibilities will be appropriately adjusted to align with the RPN scope of practice.)

Our talented, passionate team at SEOCHC makes a real and tangible impact on the lives of the residents of our community. We collaborate to deliver best-in-class services and care, and we’re looking for our next Registered Nurse to join us in our mission.

Overview

SEOCHC’s Preventative Care & Wellness Clinics for Priority Populations is an innovative program designed to provide accessible, equitable and high-quality care to our community. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to servicing vulnerable populations, including newcomers, members of the African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) community, LGBTQIA+ individuals and other underserved groups. Our Walk-in Clinic will provide locally informed, culturally responsive interventions and clinical care to advance access to healthcare services with a focus on health promotion, preventative care and culturally responsive prevention models including proven cancer and chronic disease screening models. Our clinic offers walk-in and virtual care services 5 days/week, including evenings and weekends.

The Registered Nurse will work collaboratively with an interprofessional team, including NPs, RMs, LCs, social workers and administrative assistants, to provide education, screening, chronic disease prevention and wellness support. Given that this is a new program, the RN is expected to actively contribute to its development, including refining workflows, identifying service gaps, and ensuring continuous improvement in service delivery.

** Please Note: This is a new program that is still in development and may go through new changes from time to time. As such, the job description of this role will be updated accordingly.
