Registered Nurse

JOIN OUR TEAM AND HELP LEAD WITH CARE, COMPASSION AND COMMITMENT!

 

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a Registered Nurse to join our interprofessional team, providing low to medium intensity, time-limited rehabilitation services to older adults. The focus of this program is restorative and rehabilitative, supporting clients to regain independence, promote optimal health, and return to living in their own homes with or without supports. When home is not a safe option, the team also provides recommendations for alternative living arrangements.

As a member of a coordinated team that includes Geriatricians, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Social Workers, Nurses, and Rehabilitation Assistants, the Registered Nurse plays a vital role in assessment, individualized treatment planning, and ongoing client support. The program also collaborates with Home and Community Care Support Services to ensure continuity of care and smooth transitions back into the community. Referrals to specialized providers such as Psychologists, Dietitians, Speech-Language Pathologists, and Spiritual Care Associates are available as needed.

This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of older adults by fostering independence, supporting recovery, and enhancing quality of life.

 

This posting is for an existing vacancy within the organization.
