You will report directly to the Leader - CONNECT Hamilton.

Our ideal person is someone who:

• Is committed to Making Lives Better for people after brain injury and stroke;
• Has experience working with people with mental health and addictions

• Can bring their skills as a nurse (with registration in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario) to the table;
• Is comfortable working in a flexibly structured, intentionally different culture;

• Will contribute creatively to the development of services drawing from their unique strengths and interests;
• Can juggle multiple priorities and still maintain a sense of perspective and fun.

What the role looks like. Within your scope of practice:

• Guided by the individual’s priorities and goals, the Health and Wellness Coach contributes to the creation of an integrated, multi-professional Life Redesign Plan by supporting the generation of solutions to address factors impacting the person’s goals and plan for Life Redesign. The Health and Wellness Coach serves as a nurse, coach, mentor and teacher for the people we support, families, and co-workers, informs the development of appropriate support strategies for individuals and staff, providing nursing skills as needed for the individual’s health care needs and lifestyle choices.
• The Health and Wellness Coach contributes to CONNECT’s orientation and continuous learning, and helps build on standards for excellence, and commitment to continuous quality improvement.
• Health and Wellness Coaches work as part of an integrated team with coaches from other disciplines and Life Redesign Coaches (support staff), who support people in their homes. Life Redesign Coaches are people with diverse backgrounds whose collective strengths offer a rich resource for supporting people and their work towards life redesign.
• Lean into your experience working with people facing mental health and addictions challenges, as well as brain injury and stroke.

As Health and Wellness Coach you will support the needs of up to 42 individuals in our condo-style, six-home building in Hamilton, supported by on-site service resource, people resource, decision support and admin coaches.
