Description
Salary range
The salary range for this position is CAD $ $83.13 / hourWhy Fraser Health?
Bring your clinical expertise and real passion for providing compassionate care to a challenging and rewarding Nurse Practitioner role where you can really make a difference to assigned populations. In this primary care position, you will be focused on supporting complex housing clients and patients with Mental Health and Substance Use disorders in the communities of Surrey and Chilliwack. Work with a dedicated and professional team delivering person-centred, culturally safe and trauma informed care.
Surrey is one of Canada's fastest growing cities and its land mass makes it one of the largest cities in the province, equal to the size of Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby combined. Known as the City of Parks, Surrey has over 6,000 acres of parkland and 15 golf courses and driving ranges. Also, despite rapid growth, Surrey has held onto the rural flavour of its past, with about 35 per cent of its land designated as agricultural and still actively farmed.
British Columbia's third fastest growing city, Chilliwack is well known for a wide range of outdoor recreation activities, like hiking, water sports, camping, mountain-biking and fishing. With natural surroundings, rural setting and thriving economy it is a prosperous community with an outstanding quality of life.
This is a great opportunity for a new Nurse Practitioner to join a well supported fellowship program to help consolidate clinical skills. Be part of our clinical enhancement program with regular in house skills development such as suturing and x-ray interpretation in addition to receiving centralized NP orientation. You will be welcomed into a New Graduate NP Community of Practice team helping to support your successful transition into independent practice.
