We are seeking a Registered Nurse who is passionate about promoting health and wellness equity in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) to join the Reclaiming Our Spirits (ROS) program at Kilala Lelum Health Centre. ROS is a wellness program developed to promote healing and to improve the safety and health of women living in diverse life contexts. It aims to provide intensive 1:1 nursing care delivered by community nurses working in partnership with women over a 6-month period.

The program is women-led, Elder guided, and includes access to 1:1 Elder support, circles, and cultural wellness. The ROS program operates out of Kilala Lelum Health Centre, providing healthcare services through an outreach-based, culturally-safe, trauma-informed, member-centered, and harm reduction approach.

Job Summary:
