Public Heatlh Nurse - Street Medicine Team [ https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/kingcounty/jobs/4671910 ] 09/25/2024 03:42 PM PDT
Public Health Seattle-King County Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) Mobile Medical Program, Street Medicine team is hiring two career service Public Health Nurses (PHN) to join our newest Street Medicine Team. We seek Public Health Nurses who are self-directed, creative, flexible and skilled in field based clinical work as well as being committed to an anti-racist and harm reduction nursing practice. 

The Street Medicine Team seeks out and brings medical, behavioral health care and social services directly to people living outside, i.e.: “rough sleepers”. The Street Medicine team aims to engage people in health education, professional and peer support, and treatment for their medical and behavioral health conditions via a trauma-informed, antiracist and harm reduction approach. In this role, the PHN will work with the multidisciplinary Street Medicine Team that addresses the medical, behavioral health care and harm reduction needs of people living homeless. The PHN level work includes nursing assessments, wound care, point of care testing, COVID testing, vaccinations, and provision of test results. This role may occasionally provide support to the Mobile Medical Vans providing float coverage as well as to increase capacity for conducting nurse visits. The ideal candidate will have sound experience in providing nursing care in ambulatory care and outreach settings. 

*Commitment To Equity and Social Justice

Named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nation's history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures.*
 
The county government has a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all – in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from all communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.
 
We recognize that structural racism consists of principles and practices that cause and justify an inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across racial groups. Since declaring Racism is a Public Health Crisis in June 2020, King County and Public Health committed to being intentionally anti-racist and accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities.
