PERMANENT FULL-TIME OPPORTUNITIES exist for new graduate nurses who are eligible for Health Force Ontario funding to be part of an exciting new initiative within the Ontario Nursing Workforce Alliance (ONWA), a new initiative created by the Ontario Ministry of Health to respond to nurse staffing requirements across Ontario.  Nurses within the Alliance will be full time employees at UHN, however, they will be assigned to satellite healthcare organizations across Ontario as well as assist in meeting staffing requirements at UHN.

It is an expectation of the position that nurses will be assigned to satellite organizations within the ONWA, on a rotational basis for 3 month (minimum) to 12 month (maximum renewable) secondments.  When not working at UHN, transportation and accommodation costs will be provided to nurses.  Assignments are currently available at the following satellite organizations:  Smooth Rock Falls Hospital, Weeneebayko Health Authority, Manitouwadge General Hospital, as well as may be available on a variety of clinical units at UHN through the Nursing Resource Team.  Other satellite organizations may be confirmed for future secondments at a later date.

During approximately the first 4 months of employment, orientation will be provided primarily at UHN, with some follow up orientation at the satellite site(s).  Subsequent assignments will be based on staffing need at the satellite organizations and the nurses' interest, knowledge, skill level and learning needs.  Nurses are eligible to apply to posted vacancies at UHN and the satellite sites as they come available, and will have ongoing access to continuing professional development opportunities within UHN.
