Sarnia, Canada Home and Community Care Support Services Full time

Are you an experienced Nurse Practitioner looking for a different kind of practice environment, and comfortable practicing both independently and part of a team? This could be the position for you.

As a Nurse Practitioner, you will assess and determine patient care needs and eligibility, provide access and referrals to community services, and engage with patients, caregivers and other health care practitioners.

Whether you work in our office, in the community, or a health care facility - you will play a lead role in providing connected, accessible, patient-centred care - and be supported by our collaborative team that includes over 9,000 regulated health care and other professionals.

Ontario Health atHome is committed to supporting healthcare in a manner that is consistent with patient and family centred care. Applicants are required to have a demonstrated understanding and commitment to this care philosophy. This position understands the importance of quality and safety and requires a high degree of attention to detail and excellent time management skills.

The objective of the services delivered by the Nurse Practitioner is to diagnose, treat, evaluate, consult and manage complex pain and symptom and associated chronic disease management issues during the patient's palliative trajectory, in order to delay/prevent institutionalization and facilitate reintegration into the community. These services will be available across various care sectors as required including home, hospital, retirement homes and long term care. The Nurse Practitioner, as a member of the Palliative Care Consultation Team (PCCT), will work collaboratively with Hospice and be responsible for reviewing and completing assessments to assist in providing recommendations and consultative guidance to support challenging palliative symptom management and diagnoses. Travel for this position is required between all sites of the Ontario Health atHome in the Erie St. Clair region and there is the potential that the Nurse Practitioner may work out of the Hospice sites.
