Family Physician

1FTE

Longlac Site

No On-Call, ER, In Patient Care, Evenings or Weekends!

One of a network of provincial community health centres, the NorWest Community Health Centres is funded by Ontario Health, emphasizing access to primary health care, prevention programs and services.

We are currently seeking a full-time permanent Family Physician to serve our growing client population in the family friendly bilingual community in our Longlac site. As a valued member of the interdisciplinary care team, you will provide comprehensive primary care to clients and their families within a model that emphasizes health promotion, harm reduction, education, disease prevention, and client empowerment. Our Longlac team is comprised of Physician, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Dietitian, Community Health Workers and Administrative support staff.

Practising at NorWest Community Health Centres offers a unique opportunity to deliver patient-centred care with longer appointment times and lower patient volumes than many traditional primary care settings, allowing physicians to build meaningful relationships with clients and provide holistic, high-quality care.

The position has a competitive salary, the Health Care of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP) and an excellent group health benefit package.

The salary range for this position is $272,200 to $331,974 per year.

We do not use AI to screen resumes.

Location/Directions/Description:

Located on the shores of Long Lake in Northwestern Ontario, Longlac is a welcoming bilingual community of approximately 1,300 residents. Situated approximately 300 km east of Thunder Bay, Longlac is conveniently located between Toronto and Winnipeg, and just 30 minutes from Geraldton. The community offers a family-friendly lifestyle, access to essential amenities, and abundant outdoor recreation opportunities, making it an ideal location for those seeking the benefits of northern living.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Medical degree and Family Medicine residency from a recognized university.
  • Current CPSO licence and CMPA membership.
  • Experience in hospital, community, and/or public health settings, is an asset.
  • Demonstrated commitment to, and knowledge of, northern practice and community-based health care.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team environment.
  • Awareness of, and sensitivity to, health issues affecting populations who may face barriers to accessing care, including individuals who are underhoused, living with mental health challenges, current or past substance use, complex health histories, members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, newcomers, and uninsured individuals.
  • Ability to work effectively with individuals who are vulnerably housed.
  • Commitment to health equity and addressing the social determinants of health.
  • Valid driver's licence and access to a reliable vehicle.
