The Community Health Team (CHT) is a community‑based health initiative that focuses on wellness programming, wellness navigation and building community connections and partnerships. The CHT works with other provider groups to offer evidence‑based programmes that address risk factor management, healthy eating, physical activity, emotional wellness and parenting (in partnership with IWK). Behaviour change and self‑management are at the core of all programming.
Reporting to the Health Services Manager, the Wellness Navigator will provide guidance and support to clients, enabling them to access services, programs and resources that promote health‑enhancing behaviours. The role requires flexibility and innovation and involves collaboration with CHT staff, family physicians, other health‑care providers and community groups to identify existing supports and develop, implement and evaluate a community‑based wellness navigation model.
