About the position The Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) provides comprehensive, client-centred primary health care services as part of an interdisciplinary team. Care is delivered to individuals and families who may experience barriers to achieving optimal health and wellness, using trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and disability-informed approaches. The RN/RPN practices within their respective scope in accordance with the standards of the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), organizational policies, and the Community Health Centre (CHC) model of care. The complexity of clinical responsibilities will align with the individual’s designation, experience, and competencies.

Once the clinic is fully operational, hours may be adjusted in alignment with service needs and interdisciplinary team-based scheduling. This role also includes periodic participation in shared after-hours on-call coverage with physicians and nurse practitioners (typically a few days every few months).

Salary range: $60,000 – $77,000, based on experience and credentials (RPN vs. RN).
