About HNPLC

Huronia Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic is a warm, community-focused primary care clinic led by Nurse Practitioners. We serve patients across the Oro-Medonte / Barrie area with a collaborative interprofessional team of roughly 20+ staff. Our vision is Improving Health Together. We are a non-union workplace that values kindness, reliability, teamwork, and excellent patient service.

The role

You will report to the Operations Manager and work closely with Nurse Practitioners, clinical staff, and the admin team. Work is primarily on-site; location may be at our Oro-Medonte clinic and/or our Orillia site (to be determined). HNPLC operates more than one clinical site and staff may occasionally support coverage at another site as operationally required.
