A career at the BC-CfE offers you the opportunity to work in an exciting organization with professionals who are experts in their respective fields. We offer a competitive salary package, including comprehensive health benefits coverage.

ORGANIZATION:
The Supervised Consumption Site (SCS), is a unique harm reduction program embedded in the BC CfE’s Hope to Health Complex/Research and Innovation Centre (R&I) serving Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES).
Hope to Health is an innovative health clinic comprised of a multidisciplinary clinical team focused in providing primary and speciality care for patients/clients in the DTES community. The centre is staffed by an interdisciplinary team (e.g.; physicians, nurses, counsellors, peer navigators) and provides “wrap-around” healthcare to clients ensuring they receive the full continuum of care under one roof. The Hope to health Complex/R&I Center is part of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC CfE).

The BC-CfE is a world-renowned HIV/AIDS Centre with innovative, low barrier approach to healthcare delivery in clinical practice and an integrated group of research concentrations in Laboratory Sciences, Clinical Trials, Population Health and Epidemiology, Health Economics and Professional Education Programs. A multidisciplinary team of clinicians including Physicians, Nurses, Social Workers and Peers and researchers including Health Economists, Epidemiologists, Clinical Researchers, Statisticians, Programmers, and Data Analysts work collaboratively to improve the health of British Columbians with HIV and communities facing socio-economic barriers in accessing healthcare through the development, ongoing monitoring and dissemination of comprehensive research and treatment programs for HIV and related diseases.

JOB: Reporting to the Clinical Operations Manager, the Peer Support Specialist (PSS) shares their own knowledge and lived experience of living in the downtown east side (DTES), mental illness and/or substance use and experience navigating clinical services in order to assist clients to reduce barriers to care and support engagement and attachment. The PSS collaborates with the client and the H2H health care team(s) to determine appropriate care to meet individual needs and situational requirements. The PSS provides clients with education, goal setting, support and advocacy from a lived experience perspective in order to assist clients in effectively obtaining service from the ICT team staff, external service providers and community resources.

The PSS participates in care planning, team meetings, quality initiatives and continuing education by sharing and discussing information, presenting material and suggesting changes to policies and procedure. The PSS brings the voice of lived experience to conversations about clients, programs and systems. The PSS has a willingness to be identified as a peer in the areas of mental health and/or substance use and/or homelessness and the ability to use that recovery experience and recovery principles as a practice.

This PSS role in particular will work supportively with a Research team in the SIFI (Symptom Inhibiting Fentanyl Induction) study. They will help support the unique initiative to enhance clinical engagement and follow-up for clients of the H2H supervised consumption site (SCS) and primary care clinic. This PSS collaborates with the Research team and nurses to help support clinical follow-up and relative interventions for participants as needed. They will also participate in regular quality improvement meetings with the research, clinical and QI team to improve clinical follow-up for clients.

The PSS also performs service coordination duties, maintaining oversight to ensure that client’s self-identified goals for recovery and attachment and retention to healthcare are supported by appropriate services and practices, consistent with the values of self-determination/choice and harm reduction. Working in collaboration with the other members of the health care team, the PSS coordinates the provision of primary care services for clients served by the team members in their peer area of specialization.
