1-2 days per month.
Nanaimo, BC
As per the current Public Health Order, full vaccination against COVID-19 is a condition of employment with PHSA as of October 26, 2021.
Are you an accomplished Dentist, eager to provide services to a vulnerable and often overlooked clientele? Correctional Health Services , part of BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services , a program of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) , has recently absorbed dentistry into its provision of care. Correctional Health Services provides dedicated health care services to clients within British Columbia's ten provincial correctional centres.
As a Dentist at Nanaimo Correctional Centre, you will provide quality dental care to clients who may be in the most need. You will be a member of an interdisciplinary team made up of physicians, nurses, mental health and substance use specialists, pharmacists, and other professionals who are passionate about providing health care to all.
What you'll do
What you bring
A Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) could be provided to accompany you on-site.
What we do
BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services (BCMHSUS), a program of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) cares for people with complex mental health and substance use challenges. PHSA is mandated to improve the quality and continuity of care for clients across the province during their time in correctional facilities and as they reintegrate into the community. This will help to improve access to primary health care, as well as mental health and substance use support for inmates; key needs that have been identified not just in BC, but internationally.
The Provincial Health Services Authority () plans, manages and evaluates specialized health services with the BC health authorities to provide equitable and cost-effective health care for people throughout the province. Our values reflect our commitment to excellence and include: Respect people – Be compassionate – Dare to innovate – Cultivate partnerships – Serve with purpose.
PHSA and BCMHSUS are committed to employment equity, encouraging all qualified individuals to apply. We recognize that our ability to provide the best care for our diverse patient populations relies on a rich diversity of skills, knowledge, background and experience, and value a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.
Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us. The BC Governments' unanimous passage of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was a significant step forward in this journey—one that all health authorities are expected to support as we work in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish a clear and sustainable path to lasting reconciliation. True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.
