Working both within the clinics at supportive housing sites, and in our mobile outreach vans, the RN provides client centred primary health care services to individuals and communities who face structural barriers to accessing health services and who experience a wide range of acute and chronic health challenges. The RN will use a harm reduction approach while working with clients living in poverty, with chronic mental illness and/or substance use issues. They will be required to have sufficient clinical skills and experience to independently assess clients with complex health and socioeconomic needs while successfully functioning as part of the integrated primary health care team.

The Nurse will be responsible for providing client centred care which takes into consideration the systemic barriers associated with poverty, mental health, substance use, histories of trauma, colonialism and gender discrimination.
