As an RPN or RN, you will be a member of an inter-disciplinary team and provide a range of nursing supports to AOS clients who have severe and persistent mental illness through a recovery-oriented framework. This is a community outreach position and provides service to clients in their community, home and clinic where appropriate. Services you offer may include psychosocial assessment, treatment / recovery planning, physical health assessment, medication management and administration, collaborating with psychiatrists, and other nursing duties as required.
