On November 25th 2020, REACH held a Virtual Hiring Fair for Nurse Practitioners to be part of UPCC team. We are pleased by the outcome and thankful of all applicants who participated. We thank Leslie Mills and Alex Briede, NP’s in the REACH UPCC, and Nicole Lemire, Executive Director at REACH, for their inspirational words.

Nurse Practitioners at REACH UPCC are instrumental in delivering high quality, low barrier care as part of an interdisciplinary team alongside physicians, RNs, LPNs, social workers and support staff.

REACH UPCC operates alongside our medical, dental, pharmacy and multi-cultural family centre with the primary goal of providing urgent primary care to any individual who needs it 7 days a week. While the emphasis is on urgent primary care, our vision of REACH UPCC strengthens our existing commitment to the social determinants of health as a foundation for patient care, with integrated supports to address these within the urgent care setting.

In addition to providing direct care on site, Nurse Practitioners are a key part of our outreach activities; leading and supporting initiatives to provide specialised clinics, public health education, culturally appropriate outreach to our Indigenous communities, and medical services to homeless and street involved persons in cooperation with our community health partners.

Information about the Nurse Practitioner position, and other open positions at REACH, are on our careers page and updated frequently. Send your application to Amanda in Human Resources at jobs@reachcentre.bc.ca if you would like to be a part of the REACH team.
