About us

We are Somerset West Community Health Centre (SWCHC), a non-profit, community-governed organization that serves over 18,000 clients annually. Established in 1978, SWCHC provides a wide range of health care services such as primary health care, health promotion, community development, mental health, and harm reduction. We are deeply connected to the communities we serve and committed to removing barriers to accessing services for people who experience vulnerabilities because of their age, income, ability, sexual orientation or gender identity, and language or culture.

SWCHC strives to ensure that our team reflects the communities we serve. We work within an anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework that acknowledges the existence and impacts of systemic racism and seeks to ensure that systems are fair and equitable for everyone.

What the Program Entails

 SWCHC is well known for its excellent Community Health Centre (CHC) model and its professional health services team, but it has also become a leader in offering a wide range of community-building activities and advocacy programs. Our team of doctors, nurses, dietitians and more offer a range of medical services.

What You'll Do

Reporting to the Director of Family and Community Services, the Clinic Nurse works as part of an interdisciplinary team to provide coordinated care within FCS, the Primary Health Care Clinic, and Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub.  The Clinic Nurse is responsible for delivering healthcare services to Black and racialized populations with complex chronic diseases.  The Clinic Nurse will play an active role in health promotion during wellness and mobile clinics, conduct community outreach events in collaboration with internal SWCHC teams and external partners, and support the evaluation of our health programs to this diverse population.  Functioning within a robust team and collaborative environment, the Clinic Nurse will help advance program goals and enhance health outcomes within the community.
