What we do and why we do it:
Do you want to help youth in a non-judgmental, harm reduction focused, and opportunistic manner?
The Alex envisions a healthy and caring community where everyone is valued and can thrive. Our mission is to improve quality of life through accessible and integrated health, housing, and social services.
The Alex Mobile Health Program has three dynamic walk-in based mobile clinics providing care for youth at schools or vulnerable community members in a non-judgmental, harm-reduction focused, holistic, and opportunistic manner. The Family Care Physician will work alongside a strong multidisciplinary team of physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Peer Support Workers, social staff, and support staff. Physicians are required to understand the social determinants of health as they pertain to marginalized and underserved populations, in addition to providing full-scope medical care with a trauma-informed and harm reduction perspective. The team will provide care at multiple sites in the community. Reimbursement is via alternative-relationship plan (ARP) and visits are typically 30-60 minutes long with physicians expected to participate in team-based, multidisciplinary care.

Working Conditions:
This position requires frontline staff in some cases to be exposed to emotionally disturbing events such as: medical distress, threatened/actual serious injury, violence, abuse, and death; where clients may be experiencing fear, terror, hopelessness, rage, self-harm, and conflict. It is understood and accepted that you will be working in distress/high-stress situations, which may include emergency response where resiliency and stress tolerance and the ability to maintain composure, remain calm and focused is imperative. Note that you may be exposed to bodily fluids. With the health and safety (both physical and mental) of our employees being our priority – the Alex is focused on providing a safe, supportive, and healthy work environment.

The Alex is committed to embedding the principles of equity, inclusion, and diversity across the organization. We are committed to removing barriers to employment that are faced by equity-seeking groups and encourage (but not require) members of these groups to self-identify as such in their cover letters.
In accordance with our strategic priorities, we particularly encourage applications from individuals who self-identify as racialized* or Indigenous (First Nation, Metis, or Inuit).
*The term “racialized” is used here instead of the more outdated and inaccurate terms “racial minority, “visible minority”, “person of colour”, or “non-White”.
