Role: Primary Care Nurse Practitioner — Mental Health & Addictions Focus
Company: Confidential
Facility: Community Health Centre
Location: Scarborough, Ontario
Position Type: Full-Time Permanent | Monday to Friday | 37.5 Hours per Week
Salary: $51.29 – $72.65 per hour
  
Departments Overseen (if applicable): N/A — Individual Contributor Role
  
High-Level Overview for Candidates
  
If you are a Nurse Practitioner who chose this profession to make a real difference — not just process patients — this is the role you have been looking for. This is a community-based primary care position that puts meaningful, relationship-driven healthcare at the center of everything you do.
  
You will be working with individuals facing complex, layered challenges — chronic illness, mental health struggles, and addiction — in a community setting where your advanced clinical judgment is trusted and your voice matters. This is not a revolving-door clinic. This is healthcare done with intention.
  
You will join a values-aligned inter-professional team that is deeply committed to equitable care for marginalized communities. The work is challenging, the purpose is clear, and the environment is one where NPs are given the autonomy they have earned.
  
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Many NP roles look the same on paper. This one is not. Here is what separates it:
  
Genuine NP autonomy. You are not supporting a physician — you are the primary care provider. You assess, diagnose, treat, and follow up independently. Your scope of practice is fully respected here.
A team invested in your growth. This organization actively supports professional development and offers preceptorship opportunities, giving you the chance to mentor the next generation of NPs and medical students.
Community-based flexibility. Flexible working sites mean you engage with patients in their own environments, leading to better outcomes and a more dynamic, varied day.
Competitive compensation and stability. Full-time, Monday to Friday with a strong hourly rate between $51.29 and $72.65 per hour. This is a serious role for a serious clinician.
