  • Preferred specializations include opiate agonist therapy, transgender medicine, and emergency care.
  • Experience with vulnerable populations (e.g., homeless, refugees) is advantageous.
  • A strong commitment to advocating for and building relationships with seniors.
  • Understanding of social determinants of health affecting marginalized communities.
  • Proficiency in EMR systems and familiarity with Netcare is essential.
  • Current CPR certification is required upon employment.
  • Successful completion of a vulnerable sector criminal record check and child welfare intervention check is mandatory.
  • Knowledge of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action is beneficial.
  • Commitment to working within anti-racist and anti-oppressive frameworks and ongoing learning in these areas.

Work Environment:

  • Located in Calgary, AB, our facility operates with a focus on senior health.
  • Position offers 0.4 FTE (7-hour shifts, 2 days per week), with the possibility of a 0.6 FTE arrangement.
  • Standard working hours are Monday to Friday.
  • Currently, the ARP rate is competitive, ensuring fair compensation.
  • No evening or weekend shifts are required, and there are no on-call duties.
  • Appointment lengths are a minimum of 30 minutes, with options for 60-minute sessions as necessary.
  • Locum coverage is provided for time off.
