Registered Practical Nurse – Footcare Program

The Northumberland Family Health Team is seeking a skilled and compassionate Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) to join our Footcare Program.

The successful candidate will bring strong clinical assessment, patient education, and organizational skills to support individuals requiring preventative and therapeutic foot care services. The RPN will work collaboratively with the interprofessional team to provide high-quality, patient-centered care focused on maintaining overall foot health, preventing complications such as wounds and infections, and supporting patients experiencing pain, mobility concerns, or chronic health conditions impacting foot health.

This role requires the ability to work independently while also functioning effectively within a collaborative team environment. The RPN will practice within their full scope in the delivery of footcare services, patient education, chronic disease support, and care coordination.

Services are provided in clinic and community settings, supporting patients who may be at increased risk for debility, reduced mobility, ulceration, or infection related to chronic disease and aging.
