About The Position

Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of British Columbia (NNPBC) is the professional association representing all four nursing designations in BC – Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs), and Nurse Practitioners (NPs). NNPBC is home for nurses in BC, transforming health and health systems through the breadth of nursing expertise. NNPBC supports and promotes excellence in all domains of nursing practice and enables nurses to lead, influence, and transform health, the health care system, health and social policy, and the nursing profession itself. We offer a fully remote work environment, and an organizational culture focused on safety, joy, and meaningful contributions to the health of British Columbians through the powerful work of nursing. NNPBC is committed to truth and reconciliation, guided by the Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility, and Anti-Racism practice standards for nurses in BC. We actively advance the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, the recommendations from In Plain Sight, and the Calls to Action and Calls to Justice from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and MMIWG report. Our work is multigenerational, and we are dedicated to meaningful, ongoing reconciliation efforts. As an NNPBC team member, a personal and professional commitment to culturally safer practices, cultural humility, anti-racism, justice and equity is core to this role. In August 2024, NNPBC launched the Nursing Initiatives for Primary Care (NIPC) program in partnership with the Ministry of Health. Through this program, NNPBC supports nurses practicing in primary care settings across British Columbia. NNPBC is seeking a nursing leader to provide provincial oversight, formalize team structure, and strengthen accountability for program outcomes. We are seeking an experienced and visionary nurse to join the NIPC team as a Primary Care Practice Success Consultant. This role is part of the Nurse Practice Success Team, a group dedicated to helping nurses thrive in team-based primary care. The Practice Success Consultant plays a pivotal role in developing and sustaining a support program that provides clinical consultation, mentorship, coaching, practice resources, team development, and quality improvement support to registered and licensed practical nurses working in patient medical homes through the Nurse in Practice Program. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of primary care nursing in British Columbia by fostering excellence, innovation, and collaboration across communities and care teams.
