Nurse Practitioner

Opportunity

As a Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner (PCNP), you will make a profound impact on patients and their families, combining your clinical expertise with your passion for teaching, mentoring, and leading. Enhance patient care across diverse settings – community, rural, continuing, and acute care – while supporting both patients and colleagues. Join two other PCNPs in mentoring our team, elevating palliative care standards, and contributing through education, research, and leadership.

Enjoy the flexibility of working from a home office in north central Alberta, with travel within the North Zone. The home location of this position is negotiable within central areas of the North Zone. Depending on where you live, you may be eligible for a Remote Retention Allowance in addition to your regular pay. For more information, please visit AHS Careers.

A large part of this position includes virtual work but also requires face‑to‑face patient interactions. In the future, this position will be expected to participate in an on‑call rotation to provide 24/7 virtual NP consultation coverage throughout North Zone. Apply today for this meaningful role where your skills, compassion, and adaptability will make a lasting difference.

In addition to a competitive rate of pay, AHS currently has a Fort McMurray Allowance in place to an annual maximum of $12,480. This allowance is non‑pensionable and is payable on an hourly basis for all hours paid at the basic rate of pay.

As a Nurse Practitioner (NP), you will provide a full range of comprehensive health services to individuals across their lifespan. You will integrate clinical skills associated with nursing and medicine to assess, diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe treatment, and perform procedures to manage and meet the health needs of patients. Additionally, you will utilize advanced practice nursing competencies related to Clinical Practice, Leadership, Optimizing Health Systems, Education, and Research to increase care quality, promote appropriate use of health services, and inform and influence health‑care systems.
