Job description

Help patients regain essential skills after a life-altering brain injury as a Registered Practical Nurse on Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital’s ABI and Neurological Rehab unit. With access to specialized resources from the Toronto ABI Network and Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation, you’ll build in-demand expertise in a growing area of nursing. Working closely with physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, you’ll deliver hands‑on care that supports meaningful patient progress. Experience a unique kind of fulfillment, confronting the complexities of brain injury recovery with empathy, curiosity and specialized expertise.

Is this you?

Are you intrigued by rare or highly specific neurological conditions, viewing each as a chance to further your expertise and deliver personalized care? Your curiosity lends itself to careful observation—checking how a patient responds to a new exercise or comfort measure, then refining your approach as needed. This openness to continuous learning helps your patients feel seen, supported, and motivated to overcome the challenges of recovery.

You are comfortable navigating changing conditions, understanding that ABI care rarely follows a simple script. When a patient’s status changes suddenly, you’re quick to redirect your focus, ensuring they receive the immediate support they need. Your ability to adapt seamlessly inspires confidence among colleagues and patients alike, fostering a sense of trust in even the most demanding moments.

If you are the kind of caregiver who meets each setback with understanding and a steady hand, your unwavering resilience can help patients navigate the emotional highs and lows of recovery. You ensure the human side of care never fades behind clinical tasks. This empathetic approach inspires confidence, reminding everyone involved that progress is possible, even in uncertain moments.
