Job description

Department: Alternate Health Facility – Cartier Site

The Alternate Health Facility (AHF) is a 40-bed off‑site unit designed for patients who no longer require acute care but need transitional support before moving to rehabilitation, long‑term care, retirement living, or other post‑acute settings. An interprofessional team—including physicians, nurses, personal support workers, and staff from dietary, environmental services, and Infection Prevention and Control—provides comprehensive care. Fully equipped for acute medicine patients, the AHF delivers the same high standard of care as the NBRHC main site.

Reporting to the Manager of the Cartier Site, the Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE) plays a vital role in providing leadership, clinical coaching, and mentorship to the staff. This position requires a self‑directed professional who can function with minimal supervision, demonstrating expertise in leading change processes and involving key stakeholders to achieve optimal patient outcomes for geriatric patients.

The CNE is responsible for the development, implementation, and evaluation of new standards, policies, and procedures. These efforts aim to ensure the highest standard of patient care while enhancing the patient and family experience.
