Are you passionate about working with people who struggle with mental health and substance use? Join us to help make sure people across British Columbia can live healthy, meaningful lives.
We pride ourselves in finding the
best people to lead and support the delivery of unique, high-quality mental
health and substance use services for all British Columbians. As a provincial
leader, we offer specialized care, we work with community
partners and we support health professionals across the province.
We focus on the needs of our
clients, patients and families first, making sure their voices are represented in
our work. We give each client and patient choices and options, focusing on
their strengths, and making them key members of their own care teams.
We strive to create work
environments where others feel included and inspired to make a difference. We
hire physicians, nurses, case managers, psychologists, social workers, other
allied health professionals, administrative staff, senior leaders, and many
others in both clinical and non-clinical settings.
We also contribute significantly to
research, working to ensure that mental health and substance use care across
the province is evidence-based.
Join us to make a difference in the
lives of British Columbians.
"I've worked in mental health and substance use for many years, doing research, evaluation, policy, and planning, and a big part of why I came to BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services…was the conviction that we can do better by the people we serve, and that I could have more positive impact from within the system." – Deborah, provincial director
"My passion for women-centred care, mental health advocacy and witnessing personal growth are reasons why I love working at [the Heartwood Centre for Women]. Seeing women transition from their first day here to their last and witnessing the growth and change that happens is incredibly moving." — Bella, nurse
