Job Type: Existing vacancy, Part-time, Permanent
Pay Rate: $58.24 - $66.49 per hour
WHO WE ARE
Vision: A healthier community where everyone belongs. Mission: High quality, accessible care for all. Values: Client-Centred • Collaboration • Accountability • Respect • Diversity • Equity
WellFort Community Health Services is a values-based, non-profit, multi-service organization committed to reducing barriers to care and improving the health of our communities. We provide services from an equity-focused, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach to individuals and families, many of whom have experienced systemic barriers and health inequities.
We prioritize populations who experience barriers to health and accessing services, including newcomers and refugees, people experiencing homelessness, racialized communities, those living with low income, and individuals living with complex mental health, substance use, or chronic conditions.
HOMELESS HEALTH PROGRAM
The Homeless Health Program is a Nurse Practitioner-led initiative that provides essential healthcare services to individuals who are homeless, precariously housed, or transitioning out of homelessness in the Peel Region. We understand the unique challenges faced by those without stable housing, and our goal is to make healthcare accessible, integrated, and responsive.
Our dedicated team includes Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses, and Personal Support Workers, all working together to ensure our patients receive the care they need, where and when they need it. We remove barriers to care for those facing housing instability and poor health.
The program manages 45 medical beds at the Dundas Street Shelter, providing 24/7 care, as well as daytime mobile primary care services at other shelters and drop-ins across the region.
By providing these services, we help hospitals make the best use of their emergency and acute care resources. Patients who no longer need to stay in the hospital but still require medical support can continue their recovery in a shelter bed with healthcare services. We also offer additional support for people in shelters who may need extra medical attention, helping to prevent unnecessary hospital visits.
Our medical services include:
Care for chronic conditions like diabetes
Medication management
Support for substance withdrawal and pain management
Wound care
Mental health services and stabilization
Chiropody (foot care)
Monitoring and support after hospital stays
This program ensures that structurally vulnerable populations in our community have access to the care they deserve, improving overall health and wellbeing.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The Nurse Practitioner (NP) provides advanced primary care for patients with complex health needs, ensuring culturally safe, trauma-informed, and equitable access to care. Care is delivered both independently and collaboratively with an interprofessional team and community partners, in-clinic and through outreach to meet clients where they are, supporting the health and well-being of newcomers and their families.
The role emphasizes delivering comprehensive, integrated care across a wide spectrum of services, including primary care, mental health and trauma counselling, women’s and children’s health, chronic disease prevention and management, and infectious disease assessment and treatment. The NP will coordinate this care in collaboration with the interprofessional team and community partners to ensure timely, equitable, and culturally safe access for patients. Interpretation services are used as needed to reduce barriers and foster trust
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Conduct comprehensive and focused health assessments, histories, and physical exams across the lifespan.

HOMELESS HEALTH PROGRAM
The Homeless Health Program is a Nurse Practitioner-led initiative that provides essential healthcare services to individuals who are homeless, precariously housed, or transitioning out of homelessness in the Peel Region.

WellFort Community Health Services is a values-based, non-profit, multi-service organization committed to reducing barriers to care and improving the health of our communities. We provide services from an equity-focused, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach to individuals and families, many of whom have experienced systemic barriers and health inequities.
We prioritize populations who experience barriers to health and accessing services, including newcomers and refugees, people experiencing homelessness, racialized communities, those living with low income, and individuals living with complex mental health, substance use, or chronic conditions.
HOMELESS HEALTH PROGRAM
The Homeless Health Program is a Nurse Practitioner-led initiative that provides essential healthcare services to individuals who are homeless, precariously housed, or transitioning out of homelessness in the Peel Region. We understand the unique challenges faced by those without stable housing, and our goal is to make healthcare accessible, integrated, and responsive.
Our dedicated team includes Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses, and Personal Support Workers, all working together to ensure our patients receive the care they need, where and when they need it.

By providing these services, we help hospitals make the best use of their emergency and acute care resources. Patients who no longer need to stay in the hospital but still require medical support can continue their recovery in a shelter bed with healthcare services. We also offer additional support for people in shelters who may need extra medical attention, helping to prevent unnecessary hospital visits.
Our medical services include:
Care for chronic conditions like diabetes
Medication management
Support for substance withdrawal and pain management

Mental health services and stabilization
Chiropody (foot care)
Monitoring and support after hospital stays
This program ensures that structurally vulnerable populations in our community have access to the care they deserve, improving overall health and wellbeing.
