Summary Of Position

The Substance Use Nurse Practitioner (NP) works collaboratively with nurses, physicians, shelter case managers, community workers, and agency staff to deliver substance‑use care and limited primary care to clients experiencing homelessness, in alignment with PHIPA and client consent requirements. The NP provides comprehensive, advanced assessments—supported by the mobile substance‑use nurse—to address both urgent and ongoing substance‑use needs, escalating concerns to a physician or Emergency Services when appropriate. Working closely with shelter and city partners, the NP also offers social and emotional support, including crisis mitigation and case management. The role receives indirect supervision and ongoing guidance from a Nurse Manager.

Key Responsibilities

• Address social and structural determinants of health impacting client wellbeing.
• Collaborate with physicians, nurses, shelter staff, and community partners to ensure coordinated care and connect clients to longer‑term support.
• Maintain accurate documentation using the EMR system and support policy, guideline, and medical directive development.
• Contribute to nursing team knowledge through training and support initiatives.
• Perform additional nursing duties as assigned by the Nurse Manager.

Job Qualifications

• Current registration as an NP (EC) in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario; Master’s degree required.
• Liability/malpractice insurance, current BLS certification, and a valid vulnerable sector police check.
• Minimum 3 years of nursing experience preferred; experience in substance use, primary care, street outreach, or community health is an asset.
• Demonstrated expertise in harm‑reduction approaches, mental health, and substance‑use treatments.
• Commitment to anti‑oppressive and anti‑racism principles.
• Additional training in addictions or controlled substances (e.g., CAMH, OAT) considered an asset.
• Strong clinical judgment, communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills; ability to work effectively on an interdisciplinary team.
• Proficiency with EMR systems (e.g., OSCAR), Teams, and general computer literacy.
