Job Summary

Come work as a Social Worker with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)

Vancouver Coastal Health is looking for a Social Worker to join the North Shore Urgent Primary Care Centre (UPCC) in North Vancouver, BC. Apply today to join our team

As a Social Worker with VCH you will:

Assess, plan, implement and evaluate social work care for patients and families who require high priority care within 24 hours. Develop and maintain partnerships with primary care providers in accordance with the local Community of Care (COC) service delivery model and Primary Care Network. Care for clients and families who are experiencing health challenges such as, but not limited to, end of life, chronic disease, mental health and substance use and are adversely affected by the social determinants of health to coordinate a plan of care and support transitions and navigation among services. Use health management and/or self-care management principles to identify problems, address issues or variances from the plan of care in collaboration with the entire interdisciplinary team and any other health care services involved. Provide direct care activities such as psycho-social assessments, short term counseling and related behavioral health supports, establishing, maintaining and enhancing therapeutic relationships and coordinating individualized goal-oriented treatment.

ABOUT URGENT AND PRIMARY CARE CENTRES

Urgent and Primary Care Centres (UPCC) will provide care for people with unexpected, non-life-threatening conditions who need medical attention within 12-24 hours but who don't require a visit to the emergency department – this includes sprains, cuts and wounds, an infection, mild asthma attack and less serious child illness and injury. The multidisciplinary health care team will be staffed by general practitioners, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and social workers.

UPCCs are intended to be an additional service in the community, working in concert with all touch points for care to provide appropriate urgent services to patients, when and where they need it. They do not replace your Emergency nor your Family Physician access rather enhance access to urgent primary care when your doctor is not available and where you do not need emergency level care.
