Castlegar Nav-CARE Program Coordinator

Position summary

The West Kootenay Nav-CARE Program is seeking a Nav-CARE Program Coordinator to coordinate the delivery of the Nav-CARE program in Castlegar and the surrounding service area. This position is based on the national Nav-CARE Program, developed by Dr. Barb Pesut of the University of British Columbia and Dr. Wendy Duggleby of the University of Alberta. Reporting to the Nav-CARE Program Manager, the Program Coordinator will be responsible for increasing engagement from the community.

The Nav-CARE program seeks to improve the quality of life of adults living with chronic illness, increased frailty, or social isolation. The Nav-CARE Program provides support for needs that fall outside of the responsibility of healthcare providers, allowing adults to live at home for as long as possible. Nav-CARE assists with quality of life concerns such as: loneliness and social isolation, recent or multiple losses, mobility or sensory challenges, increased disengagement, coping with transitions, and difficulties accessing resources.

Nav-CARE services are provided free of charge, by trained volunteers, who conduct regular visits with clients in their homes, support clients and their families to advocate for themselves, facilitate community connections, interface with healthcare providers, coordinate access to services and resources, and promote active engagement in the community.
