What’s the opportunity?

NorWest Community Health Centres is launching an innovative, interdisciplinary initiative: the Homelessness and Addictions Recovery & Treatment (HART) Hub in Thunder Bay. This is a brand-new site purpose-built to support individuals living with complex health challenges tied to homelessness, trauma, and addiction.

We’re hiring a Family Physician to provide primary care in a team-based model. You’ll work alongside nurses, addiction specialists, outreach workers, and mental health clinicians—all aligned to support whole-person care. This role supports either full-time or part-time flexibility depending on your interests.

Why join the HART Hub?

• Impact at scale: Your work reaches a population often excluded from consistent care.
• Team-based practice: You won’t do this alone. You’ll collaborate daily with an interdisciplinary team to deliver coordinated support.
• Prevention-focused care: The model prioritizes health education, client-centered care and continuity over acute intervention.
• Autonomy & structure: While guided by best practices, you’ll shape your schedule and approach with clinical freedom.

What you’ll do:

• Providing evidence based, client centered substance use care with a strong emphasis on minimizing health risks and improving overall wellbeing for individuals at all stages of substance use.
• Deliver trauma-informed primary care to individuals accessing the HART Hub
• Contribute to integrated care planning in partnership with community agencies.
• Work with clients navigating housing insecurity, systemic barriers and addictions recovery.

What you’ll need:

• Current CPSO registration.
• Experience or interest in addictions medicine and complex care.
• Confidence working within a culturally diverse, equity-focused framework.
• Flexibility to adapt care delivery in non-traditional environments.

What you’ll receive:

• A competitive salary and benefits package.
• HOOPP pension enrollment.
• Opportunities for continuing education.
• Relocation cost is negotiable.
• Purpose-driven work with long-term funding secured through 2028.

Contract Term: Through March 31, 2028

Schedule: Flexible, with support for either full-time or part-time physicians.

This role is for you if:

You’ve been looking for more than a traditional clinic role. You value relationships, innovation, and advocacy in care delivery. You want to be part of the solution—and help reimagine what community healthcare can be.
