What We Do
Since 1973, The Alex has been a community-based, not-for-profit organization providing integrated primary health care, community support services, and housing-focused programs to individuals and families who experience barriers to accessing traditional health, housing, and social service systems. Services are grounded in principles of health equity, low-barrier access, trauma-informed practice, cultural safety, harm reduction, and person-centered care.
The Youth Health Clinic provides team-based primary health care and social programming to youth aged 12 to 24. The Mobile Care Clinic is a flexible outreach service that provides low-barrier supports including basic wound care, hygiene supplies, peer support, and harm reduction resources, with referral pathways to additional services as needed.
Under the general direction of the Mobile Health and Youth Health Centre Clinic Manager, the Youth Nurse Practitioner (NP) will work to their full scope of practice. The NP will provide comprehensive medical and social care to vulnerable clients in Calgary between the age of 12-24 as well as their children, including individuals with multiple co-morbidities. This will include advanced assessments and diagnoses, ordering diagnostics, and prescribing medications and other treatments. The NP will work primarily at The Alex Youth Health Centre. This is a permanent, part-time position that will evolve based on the identified needs of the program.
This is a permanent, part-time position.

The Alex is committed to embedding the principles of equity, inclusion, and diversity across the organization. We are committed to removing barriers to employment that are faced by equity-seeking groups and encourage (but not require) members of these groups to self-identify as such in their cover letters.
In accordance with our strategic priorities, we particularly encourage applications from individuals who self-identify as racialized* or Indigenous (First Nation, Metis, or Inuit).
*The term “racialized” is used here instead of the more outdated and inaccurate terms “racial minority, “visible minority”, “person of colour”, or “non-White”.

At The Alex, we place a high value on strong, ethical, and professional relationships between clients and primary care providers. Clear boundaries are essential to ensuring safe, respectful, and effective care. To protect clients, medical professionals and staff, employees and contractors of The Alex are not permitted to access internal physicians, nurses, mental health clinicians, or other allied health professional services during their employment.
We recognize that some applicants may have had, or may currently have, meaningful care relationships with The Alex at the time of applying. If you are currently a client and wish to continue in our recruitment process, you are asked to disclose your service provider relationship. Should you be hired, you will be required to transition your care to an external provider within your first 90 days of employment and maintain this external care relationship for the duration of your employment. Reasonable extensions of the 90-day deadline may be considered where absolutely necessary and in the sole discretion of The Alex.
This approach helps us maintain clear boundaries, uphold professional standards, and protect our workers’ rights to privacy and confidentiality.
