Job Summary

The primary care Innovation Support Unit (ISU) was created in 2018 to connect, engage, and partner with those who are actively involved in change in primary care.

The ISU is situated in the UBC Department of Family Practice (DFP) and is focused on supporting the changes that can help address the current crisis in BC primary care.

We work with collaborators in the BC Ministry of Health, BC primary care communities, fellow academics at UBC and at other institutions, and several other groups.

Our areas of focus are related to provincial strategic elements that are seeking to address the crises and provide more equitable primary care.

Thus, we have projects related to Primary Care Networks (PCNs) and team-based care (TBC) among other areas.

We support our partners with our adaptable, action-oriented research and innovation paradigm, acknowledging our position in this complex, adaptive primary care system.

Our projects vary over time and have spanned from helping clinical teams work together on how they want to work together, to supporting community and provincial system planning, to simulation modeling, to podcasting.

Throughout, we seek to find where our team and position are uniquely suited to help.

The ISU team is currently organized around two strategic workstreams: research and evaluation, and primary care transformation support. These focus on different needs in the primary care system. Each workstream has several applied, multi-method action-oriented projects.

"You change one person; you change the team" is a phrase we take to heart. We strive to work very collaboratively and seek to match team members to projects that build on their strengths and skills. The ISU has opportunities for people with a range of evaluation skills and experience to broaden the team's views as we tackle the complex challenges in primary care. We are looking for diversity and a broad range of experiences to complement other members of the team. To enable adaptability and nimbleness, we have adopted aspects from modern organizational works like Brave New Work, Reinventing Organizations, agile project management, and Holacracy. This allows for the work and our team to iterate and evolve.

We seeking an Evaluation Project Lead with a mix of quantitative, qualitative, community engagement and evaluation skills.

The ISU Evaluation Project Lead will be responsible for leading several projects within the research and evaluation workstream, collaboratively working within our adaptable team.

The ISU Evaluation Project Lead will provide leadership and work with considerable autonomy while collaborating and communicating with ISU connected faculty, system partners, and other team members to develop, plan and manage the projects they are responsible for.
