Nurse Practitioner

This is not a typical NP role. Aiyana Services is seeking a high-impact clinical leader who will serve as the linchpin between Edmonton's Somali community and quality healthcare. You will build something meaningful, an integrated care model that breaks down language barriers, bridges cultural gaps, and delivers measurable health outcomes for an underserved population.

If you are energized by solving systemic healthcare access challenges, thrive in interdisciplinary environments, and are driven to create lasting community impact, this role was designed for you.

What You Will Accomplish in Your First Year

• Deliver Culturally Responsive Clinical Excellence: Provide direct clinical care coordination for 150+ patients annually, achieving patient satisfaction scores exceeding 90% through culturally informed, evidence-based interventions addressing medical, psychological, and spiritual needs.
• Champion Quality & Compliance: Lead quality improvement initiatives ensuring 100% compliance with Alberta Health Services standards, HIA (Health Information Act) requirements, and organizational policies, while maintaining impeccable clinical documentation.
• Develop Clinical Education Programs: Create and deliver at least four educational workshops for patients, families, and caregivers on preventive care, chronic disease management, and mental health, tailored to Somali cultural contexts and health literacy levels.
• Serve as Clinical Resource & Team Leader: Function as the go-to clinical nursing resource for consultation, mentorship, and interdisciplinary case conferencing, elevating the care team's collective capability to serve Somali-speaking patients.

• Master's degree in Nursing from an accredited institution.
• Minimum three (3) years of Nurse Practitioner experience, with demonstrated care coordination or case management capability.
