health care organization that has historically served mid-west downtown Toronto, and now provides outreach
services to across the entire city. Offering a broad range of services, including primary health care, dental care,

a vision of **_Inclusive Communities. Responsive Healthcare. Healthier Lives. _**
Striving for excellence in client-centred programming and community-based education, you will work as part of a

harm reduction framework, and in alignment with the vision and values of PQWCHC. In so doing, you will be
accountable for ensuring outreach services follow healthcare legislation as well as PQWCHC policies and
procedures. This position is an outreach position, which entails working in community settings such as shelters,
respites, and sheltering hotels. This job will require flexibility to work across the city, depending on where harm
reduction services are needed. This position may also require flexibility to work late evenings and weekends, as
required by the covid isolation support function of the job.**_ _**

The role of harm reduction coordinator also includes planning and execution of in situ harm reduction support for
shelter residents self-isolating as per directions from Toronto Public Health, to prevent COVID transmission within
