Edmonton, Canada Edmonton West Primary Care Network Full time

**Employment type**: Temporary, 18 months contract, part-time 0.6-0.8 FTE (24-32 weekly hours)

*This is a partially decentralized position. Although this position works primarily at our central location in Meadowlark Mall, you may visit other clinics within a workday. So, a valid driver’s license and access to a vehicle is required. We have also adopted a hybrid work environment to allow you to work from home and from the office. So you can expect a combination of remote and in-person appointments with the patients.

**Job Posting ID**: BHC-3003

**Objective**: Mental Health and Wellness is a growing priority for healthcare providers in the Edmonton Zone. Behavioural Health Consultants support patient care by providing consultative behavioural health services to physician members and their patients.

Behavioural Health Consultants (BHCs) are generalists (often nurses or social workers) who work to promote overall health using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model, in combination with motivational interviewing and acceptance and commitment theory. BHC’s focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors negatively impact health or functioning. BHCs do not provide counselling.

They work as part of the integrated Medical Home team and are ideally co-located in family doctor offices to facilitate the delivery of team-based care. Common issues treated by BHCs include stress, emotional reactions like anxiety and depression, dysfunctional lifestyle behaviors such as emotional eating and addiction, and health diagnosis when a component of thoughts/feelings or behaviors contributes to decline.

Care is delivered by way of 9 - 10 pre-booked 15-30-minute patient appointments per day. The appointment starts with an assessment, followed by brief interventions using a patient-centered, strength-based approach emphasizing goals and teaching. BHCs do not provide counselling. The focus of the BHC’s work is on collaboration, and you must be flexible in your work schedule to be successful. Time management skills are essential to success in this role.
- Working with a multidisciplinary team, BHC’s focus on overall population health, prevention and self-management with patients who are experiencing medical and behavioural health problems
- BHC’s partner with the patient and their primary care physician to help the patient build personal resiliency and to encourage taking personal responsibility for their health.
- Our forward-thinking BHC’s are compassionate and eager to support the community using a variety of multi-disciplinary resources.
