Position Summary
Are you an RN who is passionate about working with clients who have complex health issues and supporting their caregivers; who may be struggling? Do you have excellent multitasking and time management skills? If so, we have an opportunity for you to make a difference in the lives of others in your community.

If you are a self-starter who excels working independently and in a team environment, we have an opportunity for you within our Community Care team in Nelson!

Home Health nursing practice supports the client’s achievement of safe realistic and reasonable goals by assessing, planning, coordinating, organizing, implementing, evaluating and transitioning nursing and other care services for the client. Working in collaboration with the client, family and other care providers you will develop, implement and adapt a care plan, deliver direct care, assess service eligibility and provide care management to help clients manage their own care and navigate through the various services available within the community setting.

This is a Casual opportunity. Casual means there are no guaranteed hours and work requirements may vary from 0 – 37.5 hours per week. Casual employment includes: short-notice, on-call availability; workload coverage during a temporary absence; and/or providing relief coverage in a specific position. Once hired into a casual role, employees are eligible to apply for internal postings including permanent part-time or full time positions. There are many opportunities with Interior Health that begin with casual positions and lead to regular employment.
