Full job description

The Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences is seeking a Registered Practical Nurse to join the Forensic Dual Diagnosis Transitional Housing Rehabilitation Program (DDTRHP) within the Forensic Outpatient Service (FOS). Reporting to the Clinical Manager, the successful candidate will be a member of an inter-professional team providing specialized services to individuals with a dual diagnosis who are under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Review Board and living in the community.

Within the DDTRHP program, the Registered Practical Nurse will support the coordination of community-based care aligned with recovery-oriented principles grounded in compassion, inspiration, and hope. Working from a bio-psycho-social framework, the nurse will collaborate with inpatient teams to coordinate referrals to the program, gather referral documentation, and participate in case conferences for prospective clients.

Working in partnership with the Behavioural Analyst, the nurse will support the behavioural support plans and assist community partners in the effective application of these. Following a client’s transition to the community, the nurse will monitor behavioural and risk management plans, support adherence to Ontario Review Board dispositions, contribute to the development of ORB reports, and provide discipline-specific nursing services.

The Registered Practical Nurse will also play a key role in coordinating access to community resources and providing consultation, education, and support to community partners involved in client care, including staff from Karis (the residential service provider).

The successful candidate will be a Registered Practical Nurse with strong clinical knowledge in mental health and addictions. Clients within the program live with severe and persistent mental illness and require specialized tertiary mental health services. The nurse will work collaboratively with clients and families, the multidisciplinary team, referral sources, and community partners to support successful, recovery-oriented transitions to community living.

This role is primarily community-based and located off-site, with the majority of the workday spent at a satellite community partner location.
