Enhancing community care options for Albertans continues to be a key priority for Recovery Alberta. Our goal is to provide high-quality diverse community, home, and individual Mental Health and Addiction services and to support the long-term mental health and wellness of Assertive Outreach (AOS) clients and their families.

As an RPN or RN, you will be a member of an inter-disciplinary team and provide a range of nursing supports to AOS clients who have severe and persistent mental illness through a recovery-oriented framework. This is a community outreach position and provides service to clients in their community, home and clinic where appropriate. Services you offer may include psychosocial assessment, treatment / recovery planning, physical health assessment, medication management and administration, collaborating with psychiatrists, and other nursing duties as required. This position also involves consultation and collaboration with interprofessional team members and outside agencies involved in the client’s recovery plan.
