Brampton, Canada William Osler Health System Full time

**Company Description**
One of Canada's Best Diversity Employers and Greater Toronto's Top Employers for many consecutive years, William Osler Health System (Osler) provides a safe and supportive health care network to grow your career. Osler is nationally recognized for its commitment to patient safety and is Accredited with Exemplary Standing, the highest rating a Canadian hospital can receive. As a major Ontario hospital system, and home to some of the biggest specialty and emergency departments in the country, Osler serves the 1.3 million residents of Brampton, Etobicoke and surrounding communities. We are proud to offer you incredible exposure to best-in-class health care delivery and challenging hands-on opportunities to stay at the top of your game.

A hospital system built for and by the community, we continue to expand our services to meet the needs of a growing population, creating opportunities for increased hands-on skills development, cross-department training and promotional opportunities. Guided by our accomplished senior leadership team, together we are driving our vision of patient-inspired health care without boundaries.

At Osler, we invest in careers that go beyond where health care professionals like you can achieve their goals and find deep personal and professional fulfillment.

As a part of the Integrated Health Systems program, the Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Hub provides critical services to Osler’s community partners and is an integral part of our strategy to promote health system integration. The IPAC Practitioners facilitate infection control activities and are change agents with the primary goal to support and build IPAC capacity in congregate living settings, reducing the risk of infections and hospital transfers.

The IPAC practitioner directly reports to the IPAC Hub Manager and will work with the regional IPAC hub to provide expert guidance and sustainability planning in partnership with community congregate settings including LTC partners, retirement homes and others (e.g., group homes, supportive housing and shelters).
