Nurse Team Lead

AVI Health & Community Services (AVI) is a multi-disciplinary community-based organization, providing HIV, hepatitis C and harm reduction services out of 5 locations across Vancouver Island. AVI provides services to people living with HIV and hepatitis C and harm reduction clients. We work within a social justice and health promotion framework – ensuring equity and access to services for all – and from a harm reduction perspective, understanding that clients are the best sources of knowledge regarding the services and supports they need. AVI provides comprehensive, accessible, and effective education, prevention, care, treatment, and support services to residents of Vancouver Island with offices in Victoria, Nanaimo, the Comox Valley, and Campbell River. For more info see: www.avi.org.
SAFER is a flexible, community-based, harm reduction program that provides safer, pharmaceutical alternatives to the currently toxic drug supply. SAFER is located on the territories of the Ləkʷəŋən peoples (Esquimalt and Songhees nations).
JOB SUMMARY:
The Nurse Team Lead is responsible for collaborating with the Nurse Manager to develop, support, and deliver nursing care within AVI Health and Community Services Victoria.
The Nurse Team Lead provides administrative and clinical supervision for nurses, leadership and functions as a role model and coach to all SAFER nursing staff. They work in partnership with the Nurse Manager and leadership team to ensure support for the SAFER multidisciplinary teams and to continuously develop and ensure quality program nursing practice and protocols.
Per the BC College of Nurses and Midwives “BCCNM does not have any limitations for LPNs acting in leadership or administrative roles. BCCNM does not restrict LPNS from providing supervision to other designations. LPNs are expected to uphold BCCNM professional standards and practice standards and to practice within the LPN scope of practice.”
This position provides person-centered healthcare including assessment, screening, and education to support the clients of AVI. They will use a trauma and violence informed, client-centred approach and demonstrated clinical skills and experience to independently assess individuals with complex primary care health needs and active poly-substance use.
This position requires a professional who is experienced with harm reduction and is committed to collaborating with multiple stakeholders including people with lived/living experience of criminalized drug use. This position reports to the Nurse Manager or designee.
KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Clinical Expertise:
• Stays up to date on current research and best practices in treatment harm reduction prescribing, treatment of substance use disorder, HIV, HCV, and other primary care and specialty care areas of relevance.
• Determines educational opportunities of nursing staff and develops learning plans in collaboration with the NM to ensure nursing team is working to a standard of best practice.
• Coordinates access to certification courses in topics such as phlebotomy, harm reduction fundamentals, basic counseling skills, wound care, assessment skills, etc. to staff by means such as preparing written materials, facilitating workshops, and overseeing clinical practice sessions.
• Collaborates in the development of policy and protocol as pertains to clinical practices.
• Supports orientation of new nursing staff members to organizational practices, standards of care, and policy and procedure.
Team Leadership
• Shared supervision, mentorship, and coaching of all nursing designations at the SAFER Victoria clinic alongside the Nurse Manager.
• Collaborates with the Nurse Manager to ensure open communication and coordination across the multidisciplinary SAFER services.
• Works with site leadership to identify and respond to nursing staff support needs, participant concerns, and issues related to clinical practice.
• Supports Nurse Manager in addressing practice improvement with nursing team members.

• Additional responsibilities include supply ordering, PharmaNet/chart audits, scheduling, coordinating case conferences and reporting, all in collaboration with the Nurse Manager.
• Per the BCCNM “LPNs cannot supervise employed student registrants. Whether an LPN works in a leadership role would be at the organization's discretion based on many factors. LPNs work with clients of all ages, with a focus on stable or predictable clients and in a team nursing approach. An LPN lead would need to work within scope, so if there are care decisions or activities that are out of scope of practice LPN there would need to be resources and mechanisms for the LPN to have support.”
Clinical Practice:
• Provision of direct participant care as a clinic nurse. The nurse team lead is considered supernumerary to baseline staffing but is intended to be an in-clinic leader who provides direct participant care and mentorship to the nursing team.
