The Clinical & Systems Transformation (CST) Project is one of the largest health care projects in British Columbia's history. It is a joint undertaking between the Provincial Health Services Authority, Vancouver Coastal Health, and Providence Health Care to complete a significant transformation of clinical practices and systems. This is an exciting project that will deliver key benefits for our patients, health care providers and health organizations. We are looking for Nurses, Social Workers and Clerical Support to join us for the first phase of implementation at the Forensic Regional Clinics and Programs.
As a CST peer mentor, you will be a spearhead for sharing knowledge and improving patient care across the province! In these roles, you will be trained to support front-line clinicians on the new Cerner clinical information system as well as providing coverage to enable staff to attend training for the new system. You’ll be part of the first group to learn and use the new system and be able to share your knowledge and expertise with your colleagues before implementation across our programs. Some of the peer mentor positions will be located in the Lower Mainland but will support the Regional Clinics across the province, both virtually and in-person.

Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us. The BC Governments’ unanimous passage of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was a significant step forward in this journey—one that all health authorities are expected to support as we work in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish a clear and sustainable path to lasting reconciliation. True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.
